MS has had Interix for years. From MSDN : "Interix provides a POSIX compatible runtime environment with additional extensions on Windows. This enabled a large number of UNIX applications to run on Windows with little or no adjustment." You get headers, libs, and common UNIX shell commands, if I remember correctly, allowing you to recompile POSIX compliant code to run in Windows. I think Interix has been rolled into the MS Services for UNIX 3.0 SDK which I think can be found in the Win2K Resource Kit (if you have MSDN sub). ...cmk

Thanks for your help, problem is soleved now However, I still consider this an awfull practice. MSDN coming with Visual C++ 6.0 never mentions theis flag. That means that all older programs will live in ilusion thet they have implemented single file deletion (example might be already mentioned Total Commander). They might be surprised a lot just like me. I managed to compile the code only by manually definig this flag (value found by google). Anyway, enough ranting, thanks. Miroslav Rajcic

All of their products are deeply intrusive, non-intuitive, and far more trouble than they're worth. Anytime you spot a Norton product on a machine that has problems, suspect Norton. Over 70% of the time, the fault will lie with that product. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee..."

If so then does it require any special configuration, if it does then how? And also, is it possible to use so called USB Hubs or Switchs to connect more then two computers together? I believe it is though I have never done it so am not much help sorry. Having siad that I have seen adapters that fit into a USB post that take RJ45 connectors found on the end of Cat-5 cable. Might be worth looking int them as they are then just used as a normal NIC with TCP/IP.

Try under Linux, it is more flexible in changing these limits. ;) Sergiu.

If CryptAcquireContext() fails and GetLastError is NTE_BAD_KEYSET, you need to call CryptAcquireContext() again with the CRYPT_NEWKEYSET flag. This should only have to be done once per machine. --Mike-- Latest blog entry: *drool* (Alyson) [May 10] Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber "You have Erica on the brain" - Jon Sagara to me

Just a question, did you reboot after stopping the WWW service? Also, unless you are writing a web server (or another web related utility) I would not use port 80.

Hi, Where do you want the mouseOver Tricks to display. If it is going to be hosted within IE or a WebPage (ActiveDesktop), then you can try the OverLib JavaScript. OverLib JavaScript is available from: http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/[^] Deepak Kumar Vasudevan http://deepak.portland.co.uk/

It works fine for me... What happens when you type \\PC_2 in and press enter??? Does it ask you for the username and password then??? Regards, Brian Dela :-)

Yeah, I was going to do that anyway. Actually it is time for my yearly reinstall of the system. I was just hoping that there would be some cool hidden log file somewhere that would tell me WAHT was broken. It is so strange... All the software that I build is fully instrumented so that I can get logs from people and know exactly how the app was running at the time of a crash. I really wonder why Windows does not have something similar. Sure there is SQL tracing and Tapi tracing, but nothing in the OS itself. Hmmmmm. Maybe if I loaded the debug symbols and attached via a remote debugger. Paul Watson wrote: "At the end of the day it is what you produce that counts, not how many doctorates you have on the wall."
