Re: binary files in C++

[Evan Teran <emt3734@ritvax.isc.rit.edu>]

i think the prob is that buffer is an annonymous object, try declaring it
outside of the fread..also what are "size" and "file_length" it is kinda
easy to screw those up too since they should be "size" and "item_count"

for example 2 items of size 10 write 20 bytes....and so forth
