didn't anyone tell you to check pointers for validity before using them?
the FILE* is null from fopen if the open failed.  check you errno for more
info.  maybe the file doesn't exist?  anyway, it shouldn't be a problem to
open a file on an hpfs drive.  it acts pretty much as a FAT drive would with
8.3 files.  you might make sure your .exe is marked with the "long filename"
support if the file you are trying to open is not 8.3.  the linker/def file
can be used to do this.  just add "NEWFILES" to the line with the program name
in the .def file.
