Actually I found the problem in my code; it has been a while since I did low-level file IO in VFP. FGets() returns a maximum of 254 characters by default, I neglected to add a length parameter thinking it would just read until the next CRLF no matter how far along it is.
I'm about 2/3 done writing it in .NET, not sure if I will continue down that path or not now that I know the answer. Thanks for the info!
