Monika, most of the functions that you are accustomed to in the C
standard library do not exist directly on Palm OS.  Things like
strlen(), strcmp(), sprintf(), etc.  That's not to say that there aren't
similar functions to do most of what you want (StrLen, StrCmp,
StrPrintF, etc).  The stdio.h calls do not exist because originally
there was not a file system to speak of.  

If you want to "write to a file" you will need to use the Data Manager
calls in DataMgr.h and abide by the rules for using the data manager.
I've seen some abstractions of the stdio.h functions that implement
fopen() and friends in terms of the data manager.  If you look hard
enough you might find them.
