David,
how are things? long time no speak of lager!, I am thinking of entering the dark confusing world of curly brackets and #__pragma etc... ( mainly for personal interest than financial gain ) and would like some advice on where to begin. I have a good understanding of structures and arrays, and a fair grasp of pointers but that is about it, I wondered (as one beer drinker to another) if you could recommend a book or CD, I want to start off on the right footing e.g. should I use the MFC blah blah... My main interest is in creating DLLs for use in VFP etc. If you ever come to England the beers are on me

Cheers and happy whatever you call it

BTW that was a low demoralising tactic you used the other week, just as I was feeling smug at beating you to a beer (yet again) you threw in "I am starting a six day vacation tommorrow" <bg> ouch!. Well I'll have you know, Christmas happens every day in London and as I write this I'm drinking salt water to build up to my Friday session as it's on the client.
