  struct stat sbuf; // for reading file's size.

  if (stat(argv[1], &sbuf) != 0)

// [end of file]

this program works for files on my hard drive, but not for a networked
drive.  I heard that this might be a bug with Windows 95, but then why
is my dos file manager (Norton Commander v2) able to read the file's
size when this program cannot?  I don't understand.  Please help.
