--- Comment #5 from Steven Schveighoffer <[email protected]> --- std.file.getSize works because it *does* use WinAPI directly. std.stdio.File is based completely on libc's FILE * structure. It can only support whatever that supports, and that isn't very much. In the case of 32-bit windows, the library it uses is Digital Mars' C runtime, which has some difficult limitations, this being one of them. A potential fix here is to get the handle directly from the FILE * and query it using WinAPI. But this doesn't fix File.tell(), which is going to use the libc version. --
