Yet more proof (as if we needed any) that checking for success is a good thing. perror is your friend, my friend:

fp = fopen ( filename, "r" );
 
if ( fp == NULL ) {
  perror ( "Error opening file" );
  exit ( EXIT_FAILURE );
}
fp = fopen ( filename, "r" );

if ( fp == NULL ) {
  perror ( "Error opening file" );
  exit ( EXIT_FAILURE );
}

I'm here to prove you wrong.
