I ran my game on a friend's PC to test it, and it crashed immediately - 
hanging the whole system. When this happens, it doesn't create a logfile 
as it normally does. I suspect this is probably due to write-behind 
caching in Win98 - is there any way I can make it so that it creates the 
file as soon as I call fopen, and writes to the file as soon as I call 
fprintf?
