Here's a little bit of a toy for you, I called it rcat (probably should be
called revcat), in that cats a file, in reverse - Last byte to first
byte. Was part of the C programming course I did, de-ansi-fied.

------ BEGIN ------
#include <stdio.h>
main(argc,argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
	char ch;
	FILE *fp;
	long count,last;
	if(argc !=2)
	{
		printf("Usage: %s file\n",argv[0]);
		exit(1);
	}
	if((fp=fopen(argv[1],"r"))==NULL)
	{
		printf("%s can't open %s \n",argv[0],argv[1]);
		exit(1);
	}
	fseek(fp,0L,2);
	last=ftell(fp);
	for(count=1L;count<=last;count++)
	{
		fseek(fp,-count,2);
		ch=getc(fp);
		if(ch!=EOF)
			putchar(ch);
	}
	fclose(fp);
	printf("\n");
}

------ END ------

	Have fun .... Cheers .... Allan.
