If you are reading binary data files make sure you open them in binary
mode, that is use "rb" instead of just "r".  Also you are better off
reading them as unsigned chars, rather than plain chars.

A char in C and C++ is just a small integer.  In the case of DJGPP it
is an 8 bit integer already.  You don't have to do anything to it to
convert it.
