I was working on adapting a C program, currently running under UNIX, to VMS.
I had some problems with the use of "ftell" and "fseek" .
After a call to "fseek" and a number 'n' of calls to "fgetc" are done,
the next "ftell" don't return the actual position ( n bytes after the last
"fseek"), but return the position of the last "fseek".
I think that could be some problems into the implementation of "fseek" and
"getc" so that the pointer to the position into the file is not correctly
handled by this functions.
