    I am trying to get fread to work with a structure I have defined. It seems
that turbo c won't read correctly. The structure is defines as follows:
struct e {
	  char indicator;
	  char *description;
	  char *path;
	 };
typedef struct e ENTRY;

When I try to fread, I get the correct value for 'indicator', but junk for the
other two. Is my code wrong or is the file wrong. If it is the file could 
someone please send me and example of one that would work with the code I
have written.
