Not much different. Part of it is to use ftell twice to determine the
length of the macro. But the problem is that fread() reads a single byte
for CR+LF (converts two to '\n'), but ftell()-ftell() will give two bytes
for CR+LF. Unfortunately, this does not always happen and is not at all
consistent across operating systems or even compilers on the same OS.
