I'm having a little problem reading certain kinds of files using getc(); =
I can read pure text files, and bitmap files that aren't 24-bit, but I ca=
n only read a very small first part of exe's, jpegs, gifs, 24-bit bmps.. =
nearly everything else. Does this have anything to do with the way the E=
OF is determined? Any suggestions on how to overcome it (getting length =
of file and keeping track??) ?
Any help appreciated,

You're probably using "r" as the second parameter to open(). "r" is the
read-mode intended for text files and related things. This means that as
soon as your file hits a value of 26 (Control-Z) Euphoria thinks it's an
EOF.

Use "rb" [read binary] as the second parameter to open(). :)
