how to Ensure my program works across platforms? namely, win98se and winxp? i know the easiest way to do is to simply test them across, but is there a better way? i work on my program at home using winxp and go down to my office (with win 98se) once a week to test my work since win98se is an older platform, the stuff i work on winxp might not always work on win98se some stuff i know: - when putting in new functions, check the function documentation to see if it works on the platform - if function doesnt work, try a work around using other functions does vc++6.0 SP6 have a "check across platform" function in it? OR if not, is that a program/plugin (preferbly free because i am not paid for my work) that checks whether my code works on win98se and hopefully report the snippets of codes that doesnt work or the extra stuff that needs to be installed before it works? because i dont wanna go down to my office to find that whatever worked at home doesnt work in the office. 2nd qns : what does the following means? does it mean i gotta install extra stuff on win98se before the function works?

hi, i am some newb in MFC programming now dealing with some problems while learning other's codes [IMG]http://img145.echo.cx/img145/8175/cstring3uk.jpg\[/IMG\] as you can see from the image, i am running debugging mode going step by step up to that yellow arrow (circled in red) i noticed that in the "watcher" section at the bottom right it says the symbol "str" is not found what puzzles me is that "str" has already been declared already (circled in red) and how is it possible that it cannot be found? shouldnt it be some text? or at least empty text "" ? i hovered my mouse over "str" and nothing came up :confused: could it be some declarations i left out? i got no idea please advise and enlighten me :wave: - winxp - VC6.0++, SP5 - MFC style

How to determine which service pack is my visual c++ ?? i searched around and went to microsoft website to follow their instructions but i cant find the exact reqired key this picture should provide details to my problem [IMG]http://img44.echo.cx/img44/3325/servicepack4py.jpg\[/IMG\] i suppose that's because there isnt any service pack installed if so, where can i download the most recent service pack? hopefully it's "friendly version" of the service pack :rolleyes: can anyone please provide the link? :wave: WINXP VC++6.0
