Hi all,

Trying some very simple reading of a large xml file over 2 gig... in its simplest form...

// open the file
fopen( FileHandle, cNameOfFile )

// advance to the end of the file...
fseek( FileHandle, 0L, SEEK_END )

I get a -1 on the call to FSEEK indicating an error...

What I'm trying to do is just get a verification at the end of the file looking for what should be a valid closing XML tag info... So what I want is to just skip back about 20 characters from the end of the file and return the last 20 characters...

I would have expected to do something as simple as

fseek( FileHandle, -20L, SEEK_END )

then
fread( FileHandle, sizeof( char ), 20, MyBuffer )


Am I missing something stupid, or is it just something associated with files over 2 gig...
