Hi Fred, you wrote:

I bet you are using a text (not binary) mount, and you are missing CRs.
I guess you want calculate position using line size, but IIRC it is only
portable to use fsetpos on values previously obtained from fgetpos
(directly, on the same platform, not stored in an index file and copied).
Same applies to seek/tell.
