If you can help me, please do cos' I'm a bit stuck!

In Borland c++ the following works fine:

unsigned char palette[768];  

void main()
{
        fstream palFile;
        palFile.open("pal.dat",ios::binary);
        palFile.seekg(0);
        palFile.read(palette,768);
        palFile.close();
 
        code to manipulate palette, etc.  
}

but, using djgpp the array(palette) is just filled with zeros. 
What is going on? Is there something extra that has to be done when using 
djgpp?  I don't want to have to change to using c style i/o.  

Thanks,
        Andy
