xseek(y,z,0) .vs. xseek(y,z,1)

[Henry Spencer]

In most implementations it isn't going to make any difference, because the
1 case is converted into the 0 case before anything else is done.  It's
strictly a convenience issue, unless your files are so huge that a long
isn't big enough to describe them.
