I have recently been trying to write a file IO routine that simply opens
a file of ASCII text and reads it in one line at a time.  In vanilla C,
this is a trivial task with the fgets() function.  However, using
fgets() with the SDK earns me an instantaneous UAE in windows.  I assume
this is a compatibility problem involving the stack.  On the other hand,
using the Windows function _lread() does not allow me to bring the data
in linewise-I only get a fixed number of characters.  If you want to
bring in file data line by line in windows, what is the easiest way to
go about it? I find it hard to swallow that you have to give this up to
program in windows, but I still can't find the function I need in the
SDK.  Any help mucho appreciated.  Thanks,
