----------- snipped ------------------
Its a minor problem. Before you open the file, do a
CREATE(System, struct SystemData, 1);
that will perform a calloc() which will basically start your System pointer.
One thing however... Your System pointer will be lost once the init function
is called. I suggest you declare it outside the function. I'm also assuming
you'll be calling the init function before the write function... You
probably won't want to pass the write function the System pointer since
you'll probably only be using the global "System" pointer.
