OK first of all I want to let you know that I don''t know any thing about QBasic or DJGPP so I am writing this from the perspective of a VC++ user. It should still apply however.

The first thing you need to do is find out how QBasic stores a structure. I would assume that QBasic stores an integer in a single WORD (16bits) and that would make the QBasic structure 6 bytes long. I am also assuming that QBasic writes out the data in the structure as it is stored in memory when you write to a file in binary mode.

If this is the case, then you would need to define a structure on the C side that corisponds to the structure on the QBasic side.

struct qbpoints
{
short x;
short y;
short z;
};

Then you could just use some code like...

qbpoint Points;

int hfile = open("path\filename.ext", _O_BINARY / _O_RDWR);
int bytesread = read(hfile, &Points, sizeof(qbpoints);

You might also need to ensure that the compiler is packing the structure on 16bit boundries instead of 32bit boundries as this may cause the structure above to become 8 bytes long instead of the expected 6 bytes.

yes there is, here some C code to get you started (probably wont compile since im doing right out of my head though );

struct points
{
// assuming an integer is 2 bytes in QB, right?
short int x;
short int y;
short int z;
};

points p;

FILE *f = fopen("filename.abc", "rb"); // rb meaning read-binary
fread(&p, sizeof(points), 1, f);
fclose(f);
