- I am somewhat new to the world of C. I am trying to find a way to store data in
- a non-readable format. I had initially thought that the "wb" and "rb" options
- for the "mode" portion of fopen would do the trick, but that doesn't seem to do
- what i want. (this is for DOS by the way...) I used to work for a company that
- used C on a Unix platform, and the database files for that particular
- application were not readable, either by "typeing" the file or thru the use of
- a text editor. Is this sort of thing OS dependant?? Is there a header file
- defined that will help? Any suggestions will greatly appreciated. Thanks!
