- I think this problem can appear when you use getc() and don't include
- <stdio.h>. If you don't, you will be using the C library function, that
- does it byte by byte, but <stdio.h> contains a macro for it that uses
- a buffer... This is from experience with UNIX, not MiNT though.
- Might be worth a look. ;-)
