Re: Need Pro-C code to read/write local files

Well Spencer,
Not only did you miss the point entirely, but I'm not sure that cross-posting to three (3) newsgroups constitutes "entire gamma quadrant of the known universe".

I'm obviously not talking about a client user interacting with a file system. I'm talking about a client level process. If you must flame me, at least do it by e-mail and keep it personal.

Erik.
