Subject: Re: C-Language Problem

The problem here is simply that instead of using:
buffer = "... ";
you must use strcpy().  Try strcpy( buffer, "Your String Here");

C sees strings as character arrays, and the current form will simply
assign the first value of the string to buffer[0] and nothing else.
