Or can atleast someone give me the right :>pointers for getting my work done? :> :>I would appreciate any and all help. :> Well, there is a simple and VERY cross platform solution. First step, stop using CString. Instead, use the STL template class string. The STL is now part of the C++ standard library, and is very crossplatform. You might want to check out http://www.ipmce.su/people/fbp/stl/stlport.html though, as the version of the STL that comes with VC++ v4.2 isn't very good. (No fault for Mr. Plaugher, more the fault of the compilier).
