Exactly. If you wanted to break a FLAC into 588-sample pieces (say, for CD audio blocks), then you would ask for --until=588 and you could get exactly 588 samples numbered 0 through 587. The second piece would be another 588 samples numbered from 588 to 1,175.

It's always worked as I expected, but then again I'm a C programmer, not a Pascal programmer. ;-)
