Hi,

I am doing the following to read in a file however it does'nt seem to be
reading in the correct size its like a few hundred bytes short?

level = fopen("c:\\MALEV01.AIM","r");
fseek(level,0,SEEK_END);
level_size=ftell(level);
fseek(level,0,SEEK_SET);
levelBuffer = (char*)malloc(level_size);
fread((char*)levelBuffer,1,level_size,level);

What am i doing wrong

Thanks

Ady.

Try opening the file in binary mode: "rb"
