DC>   I got a problem with malloc();
   I'll say!!  
   Have a look at this once:

#define MAX 50
int main(void)
{
   FILE *Me, *Test;            /*  one for read file, one write */
   char *Linebuf[MAX] = {NULL};/*  an array of char pointers    */
   int iterator;               /*  an int to count iterations   */
   for(iterator = 0; iterator < MAX; iterator++)
   {                           /*  malloc buffer for each char* */
      Linebuf[iterator] = malloc(128 * sizeof(char));
      if(NULL == Linebuf[iterator])
      {                        /*  on error, free all allocated */
         while((--iterator) > -1)
            free(Linebuf[iterator]);
         puts("\nMalloc error.");
         return 1;
      }
   }
   Me = fopen("ireadme.c", "rb");
   if(!Me)                     /*  open read file, test error   */
   {
      puts("Unable to open \"ireadme.c\".");
   }
   else
   {
      Test = fopen("testme.txt", "wb");
      if(NULL == Test)         /*  open write file, test error  */
      {
         puts("Unable to open \"testme.txt\".");
      }
      else
      {                        /*  read lines, display, write   */
         for(iterator = 0; iterator < MAX; iterator++)
            fgets(Linebuf[iterator], 128, Me);
         for(iterator = 0; iterator < MAX; iterator++)
            printf(Linebuf[iterator]);
         for(iterator = 0; iterator < MAX; iterator++)
            fprintf(Test, Linebuf[iterator]);
         fclose(Test);         /*  close write file             */
      }
      fclose(Me);              /*  close read file              */
   }
   for(iterator = 0; iterator < MAX; iterator++)
      free(Linebuf[iterator]); /*  delete each block allocated  */
   return 0;
}
