Hi all,
	I've traced a problem using gdb, great tool.  I have an int n which
is changing when I call:-
	Junk = system(ren temp.pad blah_blah);
here is the code segment.
	Any help would be greatly appreciated.

		Regards Ian.

void Pad_Sorted_Files(void)
{
int n;
long Junk;  // was int and long was no fix.
char temp[20];
char *ptr;

for(n = 0; n <= 50; ++n)
      {
      ptr = &File_Log[n][0];
      if(strcmp(ptr, "") == 0)
               n = 50;  // Get out of loop
      else
	{
	in_file  = fopen(ptr, "r");
	out_file = fopen("temp.pad", "w");
	Pad_to_64();                 // Pad the file.
	fclose(in_file);
	fclose(out_file);

        strcpy(temp, "del ");
        strcat(temp, ptr);
        Junk = system(temp);                    // del old sorted split file

 	strcpy(temp, "ren temp.pad  ");
	strcat(temp, ptr);     // ren temp.pad blah_blah.
// ***	n = 1 at this point
	Junk = system(temp);
// ***	n = 0 here and clobbers the loop.
        cout << "Padded " << ptr << endl;
	}
  }	// End for loop
}	//End of Pad Sorted Files
