A pointer to a correctly constructed
NET structure.
RETURNS
TRUE if an error occurred, FALSE if not.
FUNCTION
This function provides a shell around the fscanf_network_small
function. It tries to determine from
the filename if the file is compressed or not by looking if it has a
.Z extension. If the filename ends in .Z or the normal file is not
found, a pipe is opened to the zcat shell command to read the file
in compressed form.
NOTE
The zcat command must be available in the user's search path. Reading
compressed files does not work under Turbo-C / MS-DOS, since this combination
does not support pipes.
There may be a problem with portability using too long filenames. When
a network is written in compressed form, .Z is added to the filename.
If this filename already contains an extension, the file will not be
properly named under MS-DOS.
