  I wonder what I've been doing wrong? I always end up with an extra
cr/lf on the end.

  It seems to run a bit faster than fread() with a 128-byte buffer. I
thought they might have a trick.

 PE> BTW, how did the getc() go in CRC?

  I didn't try it. Why would it be any different to fgetc()? It's much
faster to read the file into a buffer, and then do the CRC out of the
buffer.
