Why my simple program does not work in dosemu?

[Alejandro Bonet <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello:

Here is my simple program:


/************************************************************/
/* Pruebas para ver porque ftell se comporta raro en dosemu */

#include <stdio.h>

void PruebaArchivo(char *fnom)
{   FILE *fich;char ch,buf[100];
    fich=fopen(fnom,"r+b");
    if (fich==NULL) { printf("Archivo %s no encontrado\n",fnom);return; }
    buf[0]=0;
    for (;;)
       { printf("%ld: %s\n",ftell(fich),buf);
         ch=getc(stdin);
         if (ch=='a') { fread(buf,1,10,fich);buf[11]=0; }
         else if (ch=='t') fseek(fich,ftell(fich)-1L,SEEK_SET);
         else if (ch=='x') break; }
    fclose(fich);
}

void main(int argc,char *argv[])
{   if (argc<2) printf("Sintaxis: pruftell file\n");
    PruebaArchivo(argv[1]);
}

/************************************************************/


I have compiled it over msdos via Borland Turbo C 2.0, and also in GNU/linux
via gcc. In both systems the results are identical.

But if i run the msdos version (attached as pruftell.exe) in dosemu,
the behavior is absurd...

Why?

It seems as ftell returns the file buffer reads instead function fread reads.


Thanks in advance
