-= Pete Replied to Paul Edwards about: File pointers =-

G'day Paul

 PC> Try this.
 
 PC> ============= SNIP =================
 PC> #include 
 PC> #include 
 
 PC> int main (void) {
 
 PC> FILE *myfile;
 PC> long midpoint;
 
 PC>     myfile = fopen("filename.dat", "rb");
 PC>     midpoint = filelength(fileno(myfile)) / 2;

 PE> fseek() with SEEK_END followed by ftell() would be compliant.

trust me to go down the wrong path :-(
