/*	ftread reads unformatted data that has been written by fortran
	or in fortran convention -- i.e. an integer with the number of
	bytes in the record, the record data, and another integer with
	the number of bytes in the record.  ftread does various error
	checks, writing a message to stderr and returning a negative 
	value if an error or warning occurs.  The call is identical to
	the standard i/o library routine fread.
