Thanks to all who responded with help for my problem (get a C "FILE *ptr" for an
FORTRAN opened file).
The gist of the responces were search thru all possible fildes for the
appropriate one. While this would work, I found another solution.
I initiallly didn't want to re-open the file in the C routine (I thought that
this would cause problems). I have since tried this and found no problem.
Therefore, that is what I have done. My C routine does the following:
take as a parameter the filename to be opened,
copies the name into a C string (and adds a '\0')
opens the file
does the read
closes the file.
This works fine.
Thanks again.
