[comp.sys.pyramid] Problem with fgets stdio function

NOTE:  I AM POSTING THE FOLLOWING FOR A FRIEND, JOHN HOBSON, WHO DOES
NOT HAVE ACCESS TO NETNEWS.  PLEASE DIRECT RESPONSES TO HIM, AT THE
E-MAIL ADDRESS GIVEN BELOW.  THANK YOU.

Yesterday, I wrote the following line of code:

fgets(in_line, 100, fp);

(I had declared:
char line[100];
FILE *fp;
and properly opened the file) and I was always getting a NULL return
from fgets.

When I changed the length of the possible string to 80, it worked
fine.  Can anyone tell me why?  Incidently, the computer was a
PYRAMID 98XE, the operating system was UNIX System V Release 2, and
the command line was cc -O -s file.c.

Since my system does not have netnews, please send any replies to:
