     The fseeko() function is identical to fseek(), except it takes an off_t
     argument instead of a long.  Likewise, the ftello() function is identical
     to ftell(), except it returns an off_t.

STANDARDS
     The fgetpos(), fsetpos(), fseek(), ftell(), and rewind() functions con-
     form to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C89'').

     The fseeko() and ftello() functions conform to Version 2 of the Single
     UNIX Specification (``SUSv2'').

Any chance of getting aviwrite to generate ODML indexes then?
