Hi Glenn,

And thus Glenn let it be known to Peter:

  PL>> 1)  Is it possible to read in and then write to the same file?

  GC> Just about anything is possible :-]

Thanks, you actually sound like my teacher from Data Comms and networking, class.. :)

  GC>  From a Classic Viewpoint, Text
  GC> Files are either read from or written to. Text File Ouput was viewed
  GC> as an alternative to screen or printer output.

Right.. this wasn't made clear.

  GC> Text File Input was
  GC> viewed as an alternative to Keyboard Input.  You can however open a
  GC> text file as a binary file and do all the read/write ops you want
  GC> provided you remember that (for DOS at least) every line must have a
  GC> CR/LF (i.e #13 + #10) at the end...

OK.. that's more than is required for this assignment.. it's only basic..
very basic from what I have been reading.. :)  I have alot to learn.

Thanks for the reply.

Cya,

Pete
