>I think I messed up the text on my previous reply - I lost my reply button so I will reply to that with this one. The original thread was a request for C++ equivalent to VFP SYS(16). I have little experience in C++ API (I have done some in VFP and intend converting some to C). You're the guru here!

If anyone messed up, it was me. After re-reading the question, and what need to be done (and how), I realized that it was really an API question, more than a FoxPro question. I assumed that it was a FoxPro question regarding the API.

Guru?? Me?? Naw, look at my exchange on Friday day with David Frankenbach. Funny thing was that I'd just made the same sort of denial to Ed Pickman, then I went out and proved it :-).

As I understand it, you send $299.99 (US) plus the top to a Jaguar convertible, to some address in Silicon Valley and you get a certificate saying you're a "Computer Guru". (rhg)
