Hello Lawrence

Replying to a message of Lawrence Lucier to All:

 LL>    Problem:
 LL>    Using the code written below, when a users name is written to the
 LL> disk file, the name element isn't cleared so that parts of other
 LL> names show up.  

 LL>    EG:   if the first name written to the file is Lawrence Lucier and
 LL> the second John Henry, then the first record will hold the name
 LL> "Lawrence Lucier", but the second record will be
"John Henry ier".

'C' will be happy with this because there will be a null byte at the end of
"John Henry" so the rest of the array is ignored.  But you have
written the whole of the structure to the file ie all 36 characters in the
name array.  You could perhaps write space characters to the mtag2.name
array before copying the name to it.
