I don't know about fonts, but you can change color by using WriteConsoleOutputAttribute and WriteConsoleOutputCharacter. /moliate

To read one single ASCII character from the console stdin you can use int getchar(void); :-D -Dominik

I don't think it's so great to learn Win32 first, I found it better to go back and learn Win32, now I appreciate all the ways MFC made it easy to learn by simplifying tasks. A bit like Stroustrup saying you should learn C++ before C ( not that I've ever done C ). However, THE Win32 reference is Programming Windows by Charles Petzhold. You'll have trouble finding much on Win32 on the web, it's 99.99% MFC. I know, because we're not using MFC in our current project, and my only sources of info are MSDN, Petzhold and asking questions here. Not many articles are helpful because they all use MFC. Windows Developers Journal is a good source of Win32 info, they rarely print MFC articles, except in their annual MFC issue.

Hi, Consider this code (yours is not readable): GetMode(int array[], int count) { int freq, max = 0; for (int i=0; i<count; i++) { freq = 0; for (int j=0; j<count; j++) { if (array[j]==array[i]) freq++; } if (freq>max) max = freq; } return max; } You have to replace array[x] with movie.return_value(x) and maybe some other few things, but the algorythm seems pretty simple. You simply search for the most frequent value in the array. Paolo ------ "airplane is cool, but space shuttle is even better" (J. Kaczorowski)
