Hello,
first of all let me tell you that I do not know anything about C++, so pls.
be patient.
I found some C++ source code that is supposed to be a program to generate a
file called Passfilt.dll that can be used for Password filtering in Win2000
(setting stronger password policies for W2k). Now, I would like know it
these files look like a C++ Source? If yes how I run that program, do I need
a compiler etc.?
AccountPassword .cpp
AccountPassword .def
AccountPassword .dsp
AccountPassword .dsw
AccountPassword .h
PasswordConfigu ration.cpp
PasswordConfigu ration.h
StdAfx.cpp
StdAfx.h
ValidatePasswor d.cpp
ValidatePasswor d.h
Found in http://www.opencoe.com/AccountPassword.htm
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards

The *.dsp and *.dsw files define a project to Microsoft Visual C++.
The *.cpp, *.def, and *.h files are the source for that project. Yes,
of course you need a compiler. Ideally you'd have a copy of Visual
C++, with which you'd read the *.dsp file and build the project. Of
course, VC++ is expensive, there are workarounds but they takes LOTS
of effort.

Hello Tim,
thank you for your reply. The *.dsp and *.dsw files define a project to Microsoft Visual C++. The *.cpp, *.def, and *.h files are the source for that project. Yes, of course you need a compiler. Ideally you'd have a copy of Visual C++, with which you'd read the *.dsp file and build the project. Of course, VC++ is expensive, there are workarounds but they takes LOTS of effort.
Hmm... I've tried the Borland Compiler (5.5, Command line tool) and it did
not work :(
because there where too many errors during compilation.

Those are Visual C++ files, specifically. You might be able to recreate the
app using just the .cpp and .h files, but you'll need Visual C++ to build it
with those files.

Those .dsw and .dsp files comprise a sort of make file, including the
dependencies, so it's unlikely you'd be able to compile it without figuring
that stuff out. If you really can't get access to Visual C++, and you
really need to compile that code, then show the source on one of the
microsoft.publi c.vc.* newsgroups for the .dsw and .dsp files and see if they
can show you how to compile the project by creating Borland make file.

As Tim already told you, those .dsp, .dsw, and. .def files
are *specific* to the Microsoft Visual C++ product, that's
the only compiler they'll work with. You *might* be able
to create a 'project' with another compiler such as Borland
and use those .cpp and .h files, but only if they don't depend
upon any other VC++ specific features.
Try asking about this in a Windows programming group.

Thank you all for answering my question, I will try to find a solution in
some Windows NG!
