Leaving off O_APPEND will *overwrite* the portions of the file you write to. There is no standard method for "inserting" data into a file. You would have to read the file contents and re-write them with the "inserted" data first, then the old data. -- digital man (rob) Sling Blade quote #12: Karl (re hammer): I don't rightly know.
