A good way to start might be to ask in a C++ Builder newsgroup.  You are in
the newsgroup for the old Borland C++ compiler.  C++ Builder newsgroups have
the word 'cppbuilder' in their name.

It seems a waste to read a single character with blockread.  However, here
is an example of doing it in either of C or C++.

  ---------------
  #Include <stdio.h>

  int main()
      {
      FILE *f = fopen("FileName.dat", "rb");

      if (f == NULL)
          printf("Error: could not open file\n");
      else
          {
          char c;

          fread(&c, 1, 1, f);
          fclose(f);
          printf("The character read is '%c'\n", c);
          }

      return 0;
      }
