Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to programming in C so please don't bite my head off if I'm asking the obvious.. :) Is they any (easy?) :) way of detecting if the scoll lock key is turned on or off? Or the caps lock key? I'm writing a small program for proboard that will look at either of these two keys and then print a message accordingly depending on the status of the two keys. Thanks in advance :) Paul. --- FMail/Win32 1.22 * Origin: T H E S Y N E R G Y S Y S T E M (2:2502/27) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 203 C++ Ref: E4B00004 Date: 04/02/97 From: PAUL JOHNSTON Time: 09:52am \/To: ALEX CLIFFORD HENDERSON (Read 5 times) Subj: pallette Hello Alex.

I don't know EGA, but with VGA palette control is an inherent part of the design - for all 256 colours. However, EGA is not the lowest common denominator. ANSI screen control codes do not let you pallette fiddle. AH> How to do this? well I cant be stuffed telling ya but it's in just Yes, it's somewhat trivial if you become platform dependant.

Impressive. this does not make sense to me at all.

I know tons of 17 year olds who know a helluvalot more about computers than most people .... but they sure as hell know what a database looks like. Second of all, most people wouldn't really know much of anything if a atabase fell on them from a great height. And just because someone is unable to spell or punctuate is not reason enough to chew them out for being stupid. Inability or refusal to spell or unctuate correctly is definitelyx not a sign of stupidity. The only reason I used to that someone is stupid for saying "Socrates" wrong is because my world civ teacher told me that they were. That doesn't mean it's true. and if you expect her to call upon you for support just because you bagged down on the other guy, you should be ashamed of yourself. And if she listens to you and does that, she should also be ashamed of herself. Now say 3 Hail-Chrishnas and go to bed at 8:00. Be a good boy!

Pretty good is right! Its also great for profiling. Sometime omit the -s and -fomit-frame-pointer switched, add in -pg (Assuming you have gprof which comes with DJGPP) and execute your program. This will kick out a dump to a file, then run gprof | more or redirect output to a file, and you can see all kinds of stuff, how many times a function is executed, how long it took, etc, alot better then the big beastly confusing Turbo Profiler if you ask me. --- Telegard v3.02/mL * Origin: Kitchen Sink * Lawrence, KS * 913-749-9480 (1:299/122) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 203 C++ Ref: E4B00010 Date: 04/06/97 From: ROBIN KELLY Time: 06:03pm \/To: BOB STOUT (Read 5 times) Subj: The SNIPPETS Internet distribution site 18:03:1904/06/97 Bob Stout wrote in a message to All: BS> The SNIPPETS collection is still hosted at brokersys.com and our BS> old friend, Jon Guthrie still provides behind-the-scenes technical BS> support, but now you don't have to remember any of that any more.

(ie "08:00", "23:30"). In the config, the hours are divided into the half hours, and are put into he 7 days of the week..
