There is a function in TC to determine the length of a file based on the
file handle.  Its something like getfilesize(), and returns the size in bytes
as a long.  If you opened the file with fopen(), there is a function to 
get the handle for the file, again I don't remember exactly what the function
name is, something like gethandle() or filehandle() :-).

Hope this helps.
