Hello Nils, hello Ken,
ptr_array[0] = malloc(size_of_textfile);
copy_to(file0, ptr_array[0];
ptr_array[1] = malloc(size_of_textfile);
copy_to(file1, ptr_array[1];
...
Can I still use fgets() on these pointers once the file has been loaded
there?
No, fgets wants a FILE *, which is a pointer to a stream, not a char *.
If you are not able to rewrite the program to process the buffer
directly, forgetting about fgets(), there is fmemopen() which returns a
FILE * given a string. But it may not be implemented in your C library.

I just found that the Newlib library as included in the gcc-ia16
toolchain does happen to implement fmemopen( ) (and several other POSIX
functions as well).
However, Open Watcom's C library does not have this function.
I suppose, if a `FILE *' is not absolutely needed, then one can use
strchr( ), strcspn( ), etc. to slice the input up into separate lines,
without writing a lot of code.
Thank you!
