A component file jfile can be thought of as a boxed list stored in a file. An item of the boxed list on file is referred to as a component. The script jfiles.ijs provides the utilities for working with jfiles.

   load 'jfiles'
   f =. 'user\data.jf'
   jcreate f
1
   'first component' jappend f
0
   (1.5+i.2 3) jappend f
1
   ('asdf';23) jappend f
2 3
   (<'mum';'dad') jappend f
4


The jsize result gives file information, including the indexes of the first and last items.
