As I've pointed out already, Java is only on the edges of topicality in this echo, and contract disputes aren't topical at all. Those interested in the subject may want to visit either MS's or Sun's web sites (or both) to take a look at the actual text of the contract under dispute. After that, you might want to pick up one of the echos oriented toward legal discussions as I'm sure this is a hot topic in such an echo right now.

As far as C++ cares, there's no such thing as a file being random or sequential - there are just files, and you can access any of them randomly or sequentially. In this case, you'd do something like this: string lines[max_lines]; ifstream input("input_file.txt"); for ( int i=0; i < max_lines && !input.bad(); i++) input >> lines[i]; Depending upon how new it is, your compiler may not support the `string' data type, in which case you'll have to read your lines into buffers of characters.

Is it possible at all? (I mean, is there a AK> driver/VxD/Utility etc) Alec, From a recent article in PC magazine. ================================================================= FAT32 is only available for Windows 95. Microsoft has not promised to support it under Windows NT and has hinted it will not do so. The company has stated, however, that if Windows NT 5.0 doesn't support FAT32, it will provide a utility to transform FAT32 disks to NTFS (Windows NT's native file system) so that upgraders won't be in trouble. But for now, if you want to use Windows NT and Windows 95 on the same machine, you need to be sure that any disk space shared by the two operating systems use FAT16 and not FAT32, which Windows NT won't read, or NTFS, which Windows 95 won't read. ================================================================= AK> Thanx for ANY answer!

There is a class, CCommUI, which is decended from CDialog. CComUI contains a method, OnCancel, which is included in the appropriate message map to be called whenever the "Cancel" button in the modal dialog box (the CComUI object) is pressed. A snippet of code goes something like this: void CComUI::OnCancel() { CWnd * pbutton = GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL); pbutton->EnableWindow(FALSE); . . . CDialog::OnCancel(); } The question I have is this: Does the line containing the call to the parent "percolate" up to the child? What is the purpose of this call in the first place if CDialog::OnCancel() had never been specifically fleshed out (or even mentioned) anywhere in the code? As an aside, I commented this line out and the software ran as expected. With that line left in the code there was always a premature closing of the dialog box. Does this mean that the method, CDialog::OnCancel(), was performing some action on its own without me even being aware of it? * KWQ/2 1.2i * --- TMail v1.31.5 * Origin: Diablo Valley PCUG-BBS, Walnut Creek, CA 510/943-6238 (1:161/55)
