Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions. I will try this today. As you have
probably figured out, I am not an engineer first, and a programmer
second. Your suggestion about ofstream being the wrong tool has come
time mind before, but I wouldn't know what else to use...besides a
standard C stream....or just an fstream? So yes i just write binary
files....what would be a more appropriate tool?
Thanks
Randy
