I'm using TC++ 1.0 and am fopen()'ing a file that I write to using
fwrite(), I then do an fflush(), and as a test I reboot via the 3 finger
salute (ctrl-alt-del). When I check the file the fwrite() didn't
happen. It is my understanding that the fflush() should force the buffers
to be written to disk. Am I mistaken? I don't want to have to
open, write, close, the re-open the file, it seems so kludgy and
defeats the purpose of why I am flushing in the first place.
