I am already at the end of my wits.

I have been attempting to write a function to open an AVI file. 
However, I have had this particular aggravation which is stopping me.

I open the file by using

ifstream("mmm.avi",ios::binary);

However, I cannot even read anything!  Anything I test for EOF (using
ifstream::eof()) it reports that the EOF is at the beginning of the
file, and the location of the pointer at the stream is zero!

What is even more strange is that if I open the file as text, it works
perfectly.

Any suggestions? (I can't post my code here because it is in a mess.)
