Hi,

  i'm using the win32 api CreateFile () and i wanted to know how to put the
"cursor" at a certain position. if i used c's FILE pointer i can use fseek
() to go to a specific place in the file.

  what i'm trying to accomplish is this. i have an xml file and i want to
calculate a crc of the file, but i don't want to include the first line of
the file in the CRC calculation.

line 1: <test crc="0xabcdef">
line 2:     <person name="testing" age="12"/?
line 3         ...
line n  </test>

i want the "cursor" to be pointed at line 2 when i begin my crc calculation.

aloha,
mike
