Your program doesn't open the file in binary mode, so it stops reading at 
the first ^Z (not ^C) character it sees.  ^Z is a kind of software EOF in 
DOS, and DJGPP behaves this way also to be compatible.  Change your 
program to say `fopen(file, "rb")' and `fopen(file, "wb")', and you 
should be OK.
