Oh, I was planning to get the driver first running by using the file functions directly

and then eventually convert to the FT specific stream macros. Currently I was also
facing  issues when ftview went into FTC_Manager_LookupFace and it was giving
a segmentation fault, I was just figuring out what was the error, but it seems the
usage of file functions here is causing problems. Now I can first focus on converting

the stream usage. Thanks!

Yes! Will do. Thanks!
