Hey, wake up, man! This is 32-bit programming we are talking about! _hread
and _lread are declared in Win32 API like this:

UINT WINAPI _lread(HFILE hFile, LPVOID lpBuffer, UINT uBytes);
long WINAPI _hread(HFILE hFile, LPVOID lpBuffer, long lBytes);

I don't see any 'huge' here :-)

JP>   Better yet, use iostreams, POSIX, or  functions.

JP>   ( Sheesh!  Dark Ages 16:16 programming.  I had hoped that OS2PROG
JP> would be free of such crap.  Mutter ... mutter ... )

You'll see more of such crap when the DAPIE is generally available and
Win32 programmers start asking porting questions here.
