Hello all,

I am very new to djgpp so pardon my ignorance.   I have been opening and
trying to read a file using open, and read.  I was wondering if there is a
maximum size of file that can be opened or read from.  it seems that
reading 40 bytes from a file at once, occasionally gives a SIGSEGV fault at
runtime ( I wish i knew what these runtime error messages meant, as well. 
Is there a FAQ on DOS error messages? ).  I WAS trying to read a minimum of
280 bytes, in one pass.  I will resort to reading 4 bytes at a time ,
unless someone can assist me.

Thank you.

-Jeff
