Re: problem

["Brian Holley" <comp_brain@hotmail.com>]

This function starts at the end (hence SEEK_END) and goes 0 bytes towards 
the front.  The L signifies that the value should be in long format.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't mind answering these questions 
because programming is the foundation of gaming, and so understanding 
programming is very important to this list.
