This function figures out the size of a file, allocates a buffer
and returns the contents of the file.


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
char *FileToRam(char *fname)
{
         FILE *f = fopen(fname,"rb");
         long siz;
         char *result;
         if (f == NULL)
                 return NULL;
	/* Position yourself at the end of the file,
	   then get the current position. This gives
	   you the current position in all systems
	   except in the DS 9000 or if the file is
	   longer than what a long can hold */
         fseek(f,0,SEEK_END);
         siz = ftell(f);
         fseek(f,0,SEEK_SET);
	/* Now allocate a buffer, fill it and
	   return it.
         result = calloc(1,siz+1);
         if (result) {
         	fread(result,1,siz,f);
	}
         fclose(f);
         return result;
}
