C program to write a string to a file.

I think I may have posted this before, but this is a little program I am working on that writes a text string to a file. I have got it to work perfectly and it compiles without errors using gcc -Wall.

And this is the ~/.xsession file I am currenty using when I want a minimal desktop. Larswm is the fastest desktop available for Linux and very minimal.

[Ackley] took another look at my hat . . . "Up home we wear a hat like that to shoot deer in, for
Chrissake", he said. "That's a deer shooting hat."
Like hell it is. I took it off and looked at it. I sort of closed one eye, like I was taking aim at it.
"This is a people shooting hat," I said. "I shoot people in this hat."
