You can also stat() the file check whether it exists or not, then change your program logic appropriateley. > if (handle1 < 0) > cerr << "fail1" << endl; This is incorrect way to check for syscall failure. Use "if (handle == -1)" instead (or your code will think that lsee() past 2GB mark is a failure). Cheers, -- In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.
