Hi, Jonathan and Dan, APOLOGIES, The problem arose some days ago, and I have since been distracted with another challenge. My facts were not correct. I DID get results from fread(). It returned data which I didn't recognise. >From the Hex-Editor I was expecting something like x01020304 (NOT that simple). The output was like x04030201. It took me some time to realize it was simply byte-reversal. (I believe it's called big-endian or little-endian, ) and it's not a software problem, but a question of hardware design. So, APOLOGIES, again, and many thanks for your replies pointing me in the right direction.
