The sample programs WRFILE.C, on Page 179, and RDFILE.C, on Page 181,
in the "C for Yourself" manual that comes with Microsoft QuickC
Version 2.00 are correct. However, when you pull up those examples
from the on-line help, you will notice that the fopen() function calls
are incorrect. The single backslash ("\") should be replaced by a
double backslash ("\\").

To access the on-line examples, do the following:

1. Enter the QuickC environment.

2. Choose the Help menu.

3. Choose Contents.

4. Choose C for Yourself Programs.

You should see quite a few files listed. To bring up the file WRFILE.C
or RDFILE.C, move the cursor to that file and press ENTER, or double
click the right mouse button. In both files, you need to change the
line containing the fopen() function. Change the first parameter in
the function call from

   c:\testfile.asc

to

   c:\\testfile.asc

Now the file will compile, link, and run correctly.
