Second, have you developed programs that do not have a GUI interface? If you haven't, start there to get the basics of the language down. You need to learn about functions and how to pass arguments to functions. If you want to develop cross platform GUI programs, look at curses (header <ncurses>). If you want to develop only for Windows, work with Visual C++ or Borland Builder C++, each has a unique style and their own function to interface with the API. Others will have to give you input on Linux GUI programming. Ray ____________________________________________________________________________________ No need to miss a message.
