Write a program that doesn't terminate on encountering null characters.

You haven't described your program enough for anyone to be sure what
your problem is, but a common mistake is to use fgets() and treat the
result as a (null-terminated) string. This obviously won't work if
there may be nuls in the data. You can use fread() or getc() instead.

Also, make sure you are opening the file in binary mode.

Which program is that? How can we possibly diagnose something that you
don't show us?
