you should _NEVER_ use that "@" method to overwrite a file (there is a
known bug in some 154x drives' kernal that sometimes causes broken
files on the disc) ... instead always scratch the old file and then
write the new one... as in: (untested, but should work)

 cbm_open(1,8,15,"s:test17.dat");cbm_close(1);
 cbm_open(2,8,2,"test17.dat,s,w");
 cbm_write(2,buf,strlen(buf));
 cbm_close(2);

 ... other than that, what you did should still work (despite of the
 drive-kernal bug) .... maybe the compiler translates the "@" sign
 into a wrong petscii code ?

whatever..... guess i am going to whipe the crap from the filesystem i
started and prepare it for the public ;=)
