I wonder if using 'hpfopen' would make a difference. Perhaps using
'fopen' somehow invokes (if I remember correctly) some emulator that
attempts to present the contents of bytestream files in a 'record'
oriented format.
A string search program (CM) that I have tries to read as large of a file
block as possible, but I could never get it to read more than a single
record at a time from a 'bytestream' file.

apparently fpoint sees the situation the same as does fcopy: no records to
which to point.
maybe you could redefine the file as one-byte fixed-length records and get
fpoint to do its magic.
I don't see the reason for the FS40, other than fpoint predating BA files.
