Yes, well AFAIK it was developed in the eMbedded toolkit environment...

Yes, "fopen" and other similar file access functions are not supported in WinCE (and haven't been even from CE1.0 AFAIK). Best I can tell from the Ben's source, this functionality is added with the "crt" project. I think I remember reading a while back that Gandalf had to make some tweaks to it to get it to work within eMbedded toolkit. Try looking at Gandalf's "crt" project, or substituting it in :) or if all else fails drop him a line.

And please take good notes, because if you get it working in the embedded toolkit, I'd like to know exactly how, and I suspect others would too.
