 * (A)  Sets special loop condition for zero splice length, see (B).
 * (0)  For every input file.
 * (1)  Set 'samps_to_get' to equal size of file MINUS number of samps
 *  we will use in end-of0-file splice.
 * (2)  Set the total_fsamps_read to zero..
 * (3)  and the number of reads OF THIS FILE to zero.
 * (4)  NORMAL CASE lmt = 0.
    Read the file. Note the number of samps read. Add this to the total
 *  number of samps read from this file.
 *  If the TOTAL number of samps read, EXCEEDS 'samps_to_get' then we
 *  have read some samps in the END SPLICE REGION. The number of those
 *  samps is 'overspill'.
 *    If we have not read any samps in END SPLICE REGION...
 *    (i.e. we cannot be at the end of the file, and hence we must have
 *    read a FULL BUFFER!!!).
 * (B)  ZERO SPLICE LENGTH CASE, LMT = -1.
 *    In this case, an overspill of zero just tells us that the
 *    entire block has been read .. no special adjustments need
 *    to be made for splice overlaps, so we can drop out of
 *    the while loop when we get ZERO overspill in this case.
 *   (5)  If this is the first read of this file, then the START-SPLICE must
 *    be in the buffer. So do the start-splice IN SITU.
 *   (6)  As the END_SPLICE is not in the buffer, and the buffer is full,
 *    we can WRITE the whole existing buffer to the output.
 *   (7)  Increment the count of reads OF THIS FILE.
 * (8)  If we have left the read_loop for the current file, with readcnt
 *  remaining at zero, the start of the current file must be in the
 *  current buffer.
 *  We can therefore do the start_splice IN SITU in the current buffer.
 * (9)  Housekeep1
 *     (a)  finds the address of the start of end_splice
 *     (b)  copies whatever part of the splice is in the buffer, into
 *      the splice buffer.
 * (10) If not all of the splice is in this buffer (splice_remnant>0)...
 *     (a)  Reads rest of splice directly to splice buffer
 *     (b)  finds the size and address of any part-sector existing
 *      just prior to the splice-area.
 *     (c)  Writes the whole buufer up to start of this part-sector..
 *     (d)  copies part_sector to start of buffer
 *     (e)  resets readbuf address and size of readbuffer.
 * (11) Otherwise, reset the read-place in buffer, and the (remaining) size
 *  of the read_buffer.
 * (12) On leaving loop, do any splice required at end of file.
 * (13) Flush buffer.
