Jim -

I dl'ed and compiled it, and ran it (on instinct anyway). I think you'll be in
for a surprise...

Your added data DID make it into the file. Two gotchas:

1) The original file had a PHYSICAL control Z at the end of the data. That
means that does won't recognize any data beyond that point (I used a Unix 'vi'
editor clone on the data file, which ignores CTRL Z, to find this out). DOS no
longer requires a CTRL Z at the end of text files, so I'd remove it if I were
you.

2) Your added records (your birthday?.. hmm - you're 4 years older than Marsha)
had no EOL's on them.

I also noted you had problems with 'system(CLS)'.... why not do it the direct
way (under dos) and use 'clrscr()'.

That should get you rolling, hopefully. If not, I only did about a 5 minute
cursory scan, and may not have dug out all the nasties.

Pete
