Nope, hadn't seen that. And that fixes it.

I don't particularly understand *why* though. Those
first 160 bytes were being read properly, what stops
it from getting the rest? Why 160? Is it going to
suddenly require something else to be done when I go
over to the 1.73mb file that the program is designed
to process? (I wouldn't *think* so, but then I didn't
expect this 160 thing either...)

Anyway, thanks for the help.
