[comp.windows.ms.programmer] BC++ and SDK editfile example

David_Dave_Tamashiro@cup.portal.com (05/07/91)

I recently compiled the "editfile" example in the SDK examples directory.
I got the BC++ to compile the program by creating a project file with
editfile.c, editfile.def, etc.

My problem was that the read() function would just not work.  It always
returned 0 (which caused the program to display the file error window).
I finaly got the program to work by replaceing the read() function with
_read() function.  Does anyone know why this worked??  Is the SDK example
wrong??  

I noticed _read() is supposed to be for dos while read() is supposed to
be for "UNIX".  What does the MicroSoft read() function do ??

Thanks,
Dave
