What was wrong with my post?
Platform-specific.
See the link that Mike provided.
Read responses before responding to them.
I read the page... ¬_¬
Did you read *all* of it? Did you understand what you read?
I read most of it, sorry but it was 6 a.m. and I was going to bed.
Well, I thought there was no problem in posting it as I saw a few
post about VC below.
That's right, you're not the only one who has posted off-topic
material here. People who do will be advised about topicalily.
Also, sometimes even when a post is topical, some folks will
use e.g. "VC" or some other non-C++ term in their subject line.
That's no problem as long as the message content is topical
(i.e. only concerning the standard C++ language).
I shouldn't have put VC++ in the subject line, it's a console application
and I don't know if it will compile in other C++.
Anyways, I use Delphi
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Delphi a (Borland) dialect of
Pascal?
Yes, I don't know C++, I just know how to translate some stuff from C++ to
Delphi.
and I don't know if that code can compile in other C++
versions,
I don't think Delphi is C++, but in any event, it's not
topical here. We discuss only the language here, not
particular products.
so, sorry, I didn't know. Could you at least see it?
I didn't see it, because I didn't look.
1. I didn't need to look because your message clearly indicated
it's not about standard C++.
I'm still not sure about that...
2. Most folks won't download binary files due to concern
about computer viruses.
It's a zip file with text files, for god's sake! How can that have a virus?
