Has anyone found a way to use or emulate the C run-time stream I/O
functions, particularly fscanf().  Microsoft documentation suggests
using only the low-level read() and write() functions.  That's a lot of
bother if you're adapting existing code, as fscanf advances the file
pointer and recognizes EOF, something sscanf() doesn't do.

Obviously, one could make up a "fake" fscanf based on the size of 
the file and all.  I'm just trying to make sure I'm not re-inventing
the wheel here.

Any suggestions appreciated.
