Oeps, found it myself :-) I should have done :
#define LOGFILE "/APPHOME/applogfile"
...
LogFile = fopen(LOGFILE,"w");
I think I should buy a better C-book. My book (a dutch one, not very known)
defines #define as follows :
#define identifier string
with an example : #define TITLE This is the title.
So I thought that i didn't have to add "" around my logfile-description ...
My friend says that I should buy the K&R but i think I read somewhere that
it's 'old C', not ANSII C. Is this correct ?
