       Hello Paul, I did what you said, but when you view it in XTreeGold
there is nothing in the file (theres stuff in it but you can't see it, and
the size of the file is 1 byte), then when you edit it it will edit it, and
it does not come up and say cannot edit non-text file, it just edits it,
and the only thing in the file is a happy face :-)... any ideas??. What i
mean is like if the file is a TRUE binary, when you view it in XTree Gold,
you get
000000 textúúúú etc etc... but with
writepoint=fopen("record.dat",wb"); it just don't go...  (i
also repeated your command and just got more happy faces), thanks for ya
help though, got any more commands to try?? :-)..

       And, if you have to write binary data to a file, how can you write a
line of normal text to a binary file?.. Cya!

       Keith
