For starters, you DO have pointers, but they don't point to anything... more
likely, they point to something they're not supposed to.

Simply declaring the line:

 struct sgbuf *p, *q;

sets aside two variables that can HOLD a pointer to a structure of type
'sgbuf'. You never:

 a) Created a storage area that the data would be stuffed into

 b) Initialized either of these pointers to point to an area like
    the one described in a) above.

Try:

 #include 

 char buf1[32], buf2[32];

main()
   {
   struct sgbuf *p = buf1, *q = buf2;

    ... etc. ...
   }

It would have been more proper to allocate buf1 & buf2 as:

 struct sgbuf buf1, buf2;
