 Without testing... I believe you may not be passing the return variable
by address.  You need to pass the address of the variable which is
to receive the values for Recordsize and EOF.

 I think they should be defined as short int for Recordsize and int for
EOF.  If memory serves (and it usually doesn't) the following code segment
should clear things up

        short int recsize;
        int fileeof;

        FFILEINFO( file, 4, &recsize, 10, &fileeof);

I hope that helps,
Jim
