HI comp.os.msdos.djgpp!!

I've been using djgpp for a few months, and has experienced some
problems during heavy usage of C-style FILE io. It seems fread()
and fwrite() cannot handle reads of any size, they fail in certain
situations. I have not been able to find any logical pattern, they
just bomb sometimes. Are there any restrictions on FILE usage which
could explain this behaviour (maximum transfer sizes, reads at odd
positions, etc) ???

Btw, I've tried iostreams too, but somehow I haven't managed to
get ios into raw mode. (Yes, I've tried ios::raw - doesn't work)

 Any help would be really appreciated. Please CC me, I don't read
 this newsgroup that regularly.
