class LOGFILE

	//close the file

	outfile.close();

int LOGFILE::CreateLogFile(const char* FileName)

	//create the file and test if it was made ok

	outfile.open(FileName);

	if(!outfile)

int LOGFILE::LogtoFile(char OutputString[256])

	//output it to the file and flush it so it doesn't

	outfile<<OutputString;
	outfile.flush();

	//return ok

Now the problem is that I want to be able to specify the file by doing something like:
      
LOGFILE d3dlogfile.
d3dlogfile.CreateLogFile("system//data.log");
