grr, i cant get libsdl installed and that code definatly is no good, so dont bother trying yet :p to limit the distance it has to seek back would it be better to read the smaller of MAX_PATH and buffer_size untill either the buffer is full or we hit a new line? instead of just reading the full buffer size?
