	I am having a problem with Turbo C (2.0) that I am hoping
someone else has already encountered and can help me with.

problem:

i am trying to open a file.  When i open the file my filepointer is 
being returned (not null).  When i look at what fp is pointing to
there is garbage in the "buffer" and "curp" as declared by FILE.

i have not had this problem anywhere else (ie: in any other projects)
just the one i am currently working on.  I am running on a Zenith 286
with 512K, i believe it to be a problem with the amount of memory
i have on my machine.  

my open statement is normal:

if ((fp=fopen("junk.dat","w"))==NULL)
 {
  printf ("Can't open file\n");
  return;
 }

when i examine *fp right after that statement is when it is all messed up!
Anyone that can offer any help would be greatly appreciated.  

I really need to have this solve in the next day and can find no other
way to get help then other NETters, I tried to call BORLAND but was
placed on infinite hold.

please respond to packer@a.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu (wrong in header line)

or un027661@wvnvaxb.wvnet.edu

thanks SO much in advance!!!!!!!!
