I'd like to say "truncate this file here" in one of my programs.

Can I/how do I do this with standard C/C++?
Can I/how do I do this with non-standard features of DJGPP C/C++?

At the moment, if I delete a word from a file (a dictionary file
as it happens) and shift everything down to reclaim the space,
I'm left with a load of spare space at the end that I can't get
rid of.

TIA,
