My file is a textfile and contains around 300 lines . It is in a linux
machine and I am reading the file using fread() rather than using fgets
because when I use fgets() , the new line character is added. So when I
try to open it in Windows95 I am getting rubbish. Can u guide me to
convert the linux text file before I read it in Windows95.
thanks in advance...
