Hi
I just downloaded the free Watcom compiler and am having a little
trouble with File IO http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/Download


I downloaded the following example, commented out the Command line
arguments so that I could debug more easily. The example is a simple
file copy. and it works. but I would like to customize this to
automate some redundant changes in some large files.

Here's the problem: When I debug this and watch the input buffer
buf[], I dont see a stream of characters instead I see a sequence
of integers. I suppose these are probably the chararters but every
other integer in the array is a 0. I am guessing the file uses 16 bit
characters and my program thinks they are 8 bit. I tried defining
UNICODE = 1 in my project setting but that didn't work.

How was newcode.html built? Have you looked at it with a hex editor
to see what it really contains?

Have you tried to create a simple text file whose contents you know
and test your program on that?
