I think that you'll need to provide more details.
If you want to read/write data a line at a time, then you will
probably want to use fgets/fputs, unless the data contains NUL
characters.
Also, if the file is a text file, you need to decide whether you're
going to translate between Unix (LF) and DOS/Windows (CR LF)
end-of-line conventions. If you try to read a Unix text file on a
DOS/Windows system without converting it, you may run into problems
(WordPad/Write will handle it OK, NotePad won't).
