subject: Structures and Binary

Hello everyone, could some body please help me.. I'm trying to write a 
structure to a file, but i can't get it to write it.. I've tried commands like
: WRITE, FWRITE, FPUTS, PUTC, PUTS etc etc..  I'm pretty sure my structure is 
O.K.. here it is.. (well it works :-)

typedef unsigned char byte;
  STRUCT names {
    byte firstname;
    byte lastname;
    byte address;
};

STRUCT names writenames;

    Now, it works with my C program (Quick C), it's probably not the best way 
to do it any how....

    And also.. How do i open a file in BINARY mode to write to?? (if the file 
is in TRUE binary when you edit it with say, XTree Gold, it should say 
something like : CANNOT EDIT NON-TEXT FILE .... I have tried:
 writepoint = fopen("record.dat","wb");
 but it just writes the file in text mode... Any help would be appreciated!
          Thanks Cya!

    Keith
