Hello All,

I have a minor problem that probably has a simple solution that I have
overlooked.

When reading in binary files, I need to know how to stop when reaching
the EOF.

I know that stdio has a function fread but it doesn't check for end of
file.

What I am doing is reading in numbers as shorts and need a function
that can do that with a binary file and stop at the EOF.  How is this
best accomplished.

Thanks,
Chris
