This is the line that is giving me the problem:

spawnl(P_WAIT, game[Gchoice].file, game[Gchoice].file,0);

	This is the structure:

struct PathFileName
{
    char name [18];
    char path [65];
    char file [33];
};

	games is defined as:

extern struct PathFileName game[MAX_GAMES];

	
	Here is where it gets weird, with out a couple of lines like these
span* will work fine:

if (RPath(fp, tmp, &(game[i].name))!= 0)

	However when I redefined games to 

extern struct PathFileName game[MAX_GAMES]; and there for:
if (RPath(fp, tmp, game[i]->name)!= 0)


IT WORKED FINE??

Theres nothing wrong with the RPath() Function it gives the right values
back! I'm still learning C and somethimes I get mixed up with pointers
but I think everything is right.
Anyone have any thoughts???
