Hi, I need to replace a PC's hard drive and need to copy all the files. I have looked at Norton's Ghost software and it seems to full fill all my needs. I would like to know what the rest of the people think about this software before I purchase it. Are there better alternatives available? Thanks, Richard.

Thanks Rogers, I have received the invite... Richard

Hi Roger, Send me one of you invites and then I'll send you a 'Thank you' message :) Richard.

Congratulations China!! Do you have any links where the flight can be followed?

I hope you will have better weather than we have now X|. Where I live here in Switzerland we have had 2 days of snow already, which has melted again. Not that the snow is bad, I love the snow, but I hate this grey sky. Have a nice trip! Richard

Does anyone know how to print the German characters öäü to a line printer (Epson LX-300). I suppose I need to select a character set to do this, but somehow I can not manage to get it workin. Thanks, Richard

Here in Switzerland it has snowed enough to ski :-). I have already been on the ski slopes last Saterday, and intend to go again this weekend...

Thanks Martin!

Well a very basic example would be XML like this < nodes> < node> < key>1000< /key> < name>My Node< /name> < /node> < /nodes> Should be translated to C++ code, like this class node { CString name; long key; } typdef std::vector nodes; Richard

Hello, Does anyone know of a utility that can generate C++ wrapper classes from a XML file? This could save me a lot of typing :) Richard

Hello, I have now started to look at WTL and like it a lot. Is it really worth while to go into WTL or should I rather stick to MFC? What is the future of WTL? Thanks, Richard

Thanks, but that only give the function names. I need to know the function prototypes. Richard

Hi, Is there a way to get the prototypes of the exported functions of a DLL? Thanks Richard

Hello, While trying to create a Singleton using a COleObjectFactory derived class I stepped into the COleObjectFactory::CreateInstanceLic(..) MFC function. In this function the following lines of code are present sc = pTarget->InternalQueryInterface(&riid, ppvObject); if (sc == S_OK) { dwRef = pTarget->InternalRelease(); ASSERT(dwRef != 0); } My question is what is the sense of calling the Internalrelease() function:confused:? As far as I understand it the release should only be called when the client releases the object. Could anybody explain this to me please? Richard
