Please give further details on your attempts to use these functions,
such as sample code and data.  As a 32-bit compiler, DJGPP has features
which may confuse you if you are used to 16-bit compilers like Borland
and MSVC.  For example, integers are four bytes instead of two.  I don't
know if this could be causing your problem; we need more specific
details.

Please post the smallest working program which displays the problems you
are experiencing, along with the data you are trying to read.  Also,
make sure you're compiling your program with all the warning options
turned on, such as '-Wall'.  These will often catch less obvious
mistakes.
