Sb: #Kreider fseek() bug

To: ALL

There seems to be a small problem with fseek() in the Kreider library.
I am using fseek(fp, --p, 2); to position the file pointer at the end
of a file and then back up character by character.                      

I am using this in my TAIL program (which works like the UNIX version).
With the Kreider C library I get too many lines.  When I ask for 10 it
gives me about 20 (not exactly, and it is different for different files).
However when I compile it on my Atari running Professional OS9 it works
fine.  Also when I compile it with the standard CLIB.L on the Coco it      
works.

Also is there any news on the 68K version of the Kreider library.  I
especially need the password functions for SU and CHOWN.
