If it's stream 16-bit words, then

doc fopen
doc fread

should do the trick.

You can simply try to open the file with notepad++. What do you observe?

"2 bytes" is not a unique definition of the format. This could be a signed or unsigned 16bit integer, two ASCII characters or a rarely used 16 bit floating point format. More details are required.
