Jerry,
Haven't a clue, but I'm curious as to why you'd want to attempt this.
Given that users can set their browsers to various heights/widths/fonts -- why do you want to / think you can define a page?
Anyway, what's the structure of the file? Is there a formfeed at the end of each page? If so why not just fread() line by line and spew them out until you hit a FF ( ^L or x0C or dec12), then read one more. If there's something there, set "Next".
For previous, you'll have to keep track of the pointer - use the predefined variables found under fseek().
I would be doable, but you don't have any control over the output device, namely the brwser.
Cheers - Miles
