Well, I've reached a milestone: Here I have an adequately functional
application I can't use without some preliminary stuff. If I'm going to
assign dynamic memory, I need to know the file length, or undergo some sort
of guess routine. And other things as well. It's now immediately evident
that some non-portable code must be written to make this useful.
What to do?
At the moment, I'm inclined to wrap the 'wrap' code (heh...) in a shell
script which can supply all the parameters handily. Such a script can be
written for any operating system, of course, and that would leave the code
portable in its own right. Another approach would be to do the same with a
GUI routine (I like GTK+), and put all the non-portable code in at that level.
The last choice would be to lard the code with system calls to supply the
added functionality, or so I think.
I guess the point is to keep the portable code separate and intact. It's
easy to provide all the necessary arguments at command line for the script
to address, and that way, the app itself could be used manually if the
required information were at hand. Also, any added functionality to the
code itself could be handled the same way, as CL arguments, and the wrapper
script modified accordingly.
I guess my question here is: What *do* you guys do about this, and given
options, what order of preference thereof is most common?
Thanks for reading!

And yeah I do remember that it can be useful for assessing algorithms. I'll
have to go back and look at all this; I do remember being fascinated by the
behavior of asymptotes but that was a very long time ago, and one quickly
loses what one does not use.
Kids these days think "Big O" is a Japanese cartoon series. It felt odd
going to a cartoon collectors' shop and seeing a series with a name I
had seen before but in a different context.
LOL!!!

Hi,
I'm writing a windows application in C++. However, much of the
application's logic is already written in Java. I'd like to be able
to make use of that code from within my C++ code. How can this be
accomplished? I'd appreciated any thoughts or good internet reference
material on the subject.
Thanks,

I am trying to write a script that changes a textarea wrap realtime,
basically like you can switch to and from "wordwrap" in Microsofts
Notepad. Because of a bug
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302710), FireFox does not
listen to the textarea.wrap = 'soft' command. Because I want the script
to be cross-browser compatible, someone suggested to remove and
immediately add a node to the DOM, so I now have:

Greetings,
I have been fighting with the new GridView control, and while figuring
out most of it's idiosyncrasies on my own, have stumbled upon a
problem I cannot seem to resolve.
We have table displayed in a GV control.
It allows for editing and selecting, etc.
Some of the fields are 60 characters long, but only the first 20 or so
are relevant, and all of them have to fit on one line within the row -

Hi,
Is there a bug in the GridView control specifically related to wrapping of
header text...?
E.g. the following tag
<asp:GridView HeaderStyle-Wrap="false" ID=gvListUsers runat=server ... etc
.... >
does not prevent the header text from wrapping.

Hi folks,
I have a DataGrid control and I have all of the columns wrapping their
text except for one column which insists on placing the text all in one line
without wrapping.
All columns in my HTML are the same but obviously something is different.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
