Since you are using Turbo C, use _open, _write, and _close. _write is a direct call to MS-DOS's "write" function call. That's about as fast as you can get. If you _must_ use open, write, and close, be sure to do so in binary mode. It can be substantially faster than text mode, since it eliminates a lot of buffer-scanning. _open, _write, and _close automatically use binary mode. (It's inherent in their function.) -- Stephen Trier Case Western Reserve University Work: trier@cwlim.ins.cwru.edu Information Network Services Home: sct@seldon.clv.oh.us %% Any opinions above are my own. %%
