none  of this code is correct and your fopen file is doing nothing.

you are better off doing a batchfile using the tail program and then getting an
error lvl after using the file or grep command on a temporary file created by
tail. you will need win32 unix programs,btw.

17 years ago i could seek into a file and load it up into a string that you
could read with baja but i've forgotten a lot of that shit.
