Here's a red flag.  This goes back to the comment I made about binary/text
mode issues I mentioned in response to your first post on this subject.
If you expect the behavior of text files to mirror binary ones (as they
do on UNIX/Linux), you'll want to port your program appropriately.  See
the User's Guide for other options and short-cuts.
