I am going to update it and give you the credit for a much better solution :) Haha, my post seems totally pointless now. I am going to update it and give you the credit for a much better solution :)

I already had troubles with "feof()". The key thing to remember is that you must use the while as if you were looping with an integer as the iterator like: int i = 0; while ( i < 9 ) { printf("%d", i); i = i + 1; } The difference is that you are iterating in a file stream: unsigned char byte; fread(&byte, 1, 1, fp); while ( !feof(fp) ) { printf("%c", byte); fread(&byte, 1, 1, fp); } But, if you compare the two algorithms, you will see the same pattern.
