[prog] Re: C++

Hi, one last attempt before the end of the weekend and I have to make 
sure to sleep : )
Thank you to everyone who responded and offered assistance/suggestions, 
I very
much appreciate it : )

This version (of which I've had a massive amount of help with) does 
compile but it doesn't
run correctly, something is wrong with the I/O stuff.  anyone happen to 
see the error?
when you attempt to run the program
this prints to the screen:

Read from file (1) or Enter new data (0)? 0
Enter CD Information:
Enter year: (0 to quit)
In saveCDLibrary
in showCD
in showCD
in showCD
in showCD
in showCD
in showCD
in showCD
in showCD

In printCDLibrary

FINAL has exited with status 0.


here's the current version:
