1526 bytes



This is a continuation of my problem with reading entire files into
memory.  The following command:

unsigned char buffer[300*512];
FILE *fp;

fread(buffer,sizeof(char),300*512,fp);


... always reads in only 44 blocks, even though the file in question
contains no resources, and is over 300k in size.  The fread should
read until the end of file, set the EOF flag, and then return the
number of bytes read.  It always returns the number 44*512...
Does anyone have any idea why?

Any help would be appreciated..
