 Can anybody help me with this problem please. When I try to run 
this program I get the general protection fault below, and the 
file is not written.
 I use djgpp with the command switch:
gcc -v file5.cc -lgpp -lm 
coff2exe -s d:\gnu\bin\go32.exe a.out

#include <fstream.h>
void main()
{
     char employee;
     ofstream employ_record("a:\\file5.dat", ios::binary);
     if(employ_record)
     {
     cin >> employee;
     employ_record.write((int *) &employee, sizeof(employee)   );
     }}
