However...I just re-read your code and you're not actually writing out the strings, you're writing out the structure, which contains char*'s, which _point_ to your text, but using fwrite won't write it to file. It'll probably just write the pointer addresses, which isn't what you want at all.
Try using fprintf instead or convert the char* to char[256].

struct MAPINFO{
char *MapName;
char *MapCreator;
char *MapDescription;
int Version;
int Background;
int Width;
int Height;
};
MAPINFO MapInfo;
and this is what/how i want to write to the file:
MapInfo.MapName = "name";
MapInfo.MapCreator = "creator";
MapInfo.MapDescription = "short description";
MapInfo.Version = 7;
MapInfo.Background = 1;
MapInfo.Width = 255;
MapInfo.Height = 255;
FILE *fh;
fh = fopen("write.txt", "wb");
fwrite(&MapInfo, sizeof(MapInfo), 1, fh);
fclose(fh);
this seems to all work fine...it writes the version, background, width and height as characters in the text file...(ex. instead of it writing "7" (version) it writes ""...which isn't a problem at all...except it doesn't write the mapname, mapcreator, or mapdescription correctly or at all for that matter...this is what i get from it:
"`SA hSA pSA d d "
im kinda lost....if anyone can tell me wuts going on...it would help alot...thanx

fwrite(MapInfo.MapName, strlen(MapInfo.MapName), 1, fh);
Then, write from the Version element on down, like the following:
fwrite(&(MapInfo.Version), sizeof(int)*4, 1, fh);
