Assuming that the assignment above was translated into C as 

         TextToWrite = "hello, world!";

you are passing FSWrite() as it's third parameter a pointer to the string
"ello, world!". Are you _sure_ that's what you want?

Lose the [1] or + 1, which means also lose the & and the parens.  Adding one 
may have been necessary in Pascal because of the count byte in the string.  C 
doesn't have one.
