Convert C++ to C#

[Chris McKenzie]

I am sure this question has probably been asked hundreds of times, but
I can't seem to find an answer to it, so here *I* go...

I need to convert a C++ class/app to C# and I have absolutely zero
time to learn C++. I've been working with C# for about a year now,
and truly enjoy the language. Here is the high-level overview of my
problem:

Microsoft had an application in Windows 95 called CardFile. One of
our departments used this application for minor things and, now that
we are using WinXP Pro, this application is no longer supported (since
Win98, I believe) but they still want to use their data. Our
TechSupport guys (to their credit) used to copy the old CardFile
application to the newly upgraded systems, but the manager of that
department has said they will no longer do this. So now this other
department is stuck with data they can't access, and have asked for a
conversion to something else (MS Access for a "quick-fix" solution).

I was given this page
(http://www.developer.com/net/cplus/article.php/631991) as a C++
source to try and use, but as I mentioned before, I just can't quite
get my head around C++ code, and would much prefer to use C# code
(I've tried wrapping the C++ code, but I don't understand that well
enough to be effective, either).

I would very greatly appreciate if someone can help with either a
translation from C++ to C# with the attached link
(http://www.developer.com/net/cplus/article.php/631991), or can point
me in a good starting location for converting this.

Thank you all in advance.

Rather than using this very old code - why not start from scratch?

The format is available from www.wotsit.org, and looks fairly simple,
and leave you with the flexibility to convert more easily to anything
you want.

I was searching tih newsgroup and this question has not been asked hundretds
of times.

Sorry,

But I will send a command to unpack the ARJ-Files like this:
===============================================
process.StartInfo.FileName= "arj";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "e *.arj -y";

================================================== ===
This should work.

Best,
