I've recently written a routine which is supposed to write data from one of my global data structures to a file. The problem is, it is not writing the data. It *is* writing some of the string literals I have defined in another part of my program. The code in question looks like this: count=1; ... for (i=0....i++) result = FSWrite(file, &count, &theClause[i]); ... I looked at this code with the debugger, and at the time of execution of the FSWrite, count was still equal to 1, and theClause[i] was still the value I expected, but a different value was written to the file. And yes, I know there are better ways to write a data structure to a file than one byte at a time. I tried them first, and I got the same result. Any ideas? Robert rmiller@sbcs.sunysb.edu

What is count? It should be a _long_. -- Matthew T. Russotto russotto@eng.umd.edu russotto@wam.umd.edu .sig under construction, like the rest of this campus.
