Depends on what you want to develop! If you are doing mainly command-line only text processing tools, you pretty much can do everything with the standard run-time libraries. If you want to get into networking, more advanced system programming or graphics & GUI development, you are going to have to explore libraries outside the realm of the standard. -- Brett McCoy: Programmer by Day, Guitarist by Night http://www.alhazred.com http://www.cassandrasyndrome.com http://www.revelmoon.com To unsubscribe, send a blank message to <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
