This doesnt help...I want to just seewhat the next bit 
in a file is,with out having to worry about reading
in a byte and keeping up with witch bits of that byte i
have allready looked at and fetching a new when i need
one...I did find some code in the snippits collection that
has some functions for opening a file and returning
whatever the next bit is...I guess i will end up
chopping up that code and using it for my purposes,even
if that means i got to use my OWN brain....

BUt if anyone has aready done this and wants to share
thier work,that would be cool too....

I want AUTO-MAGIC powers....
