You should ask questions like this in a newsgroup which deals with Windows.

About "Off topic": The c++ language has no concept of planets and gravity either. Still I can make a program usinc c++ that simulates a system of planets, just like I can now make a program that shuts down windows. So no, I don't think it's off topic!!! -- Mvh.

Still I can make a program usinc c++ that simulates a system of planets, just like I can now make a program that shuts down windows. So no, I don't think it's off topic!!! The problem is that I tried using the functions that were cited on my embedded tapedrive system and the compiler complained. Where in the _standard_ C++ library are these functions? How can I shutdown the tapedrive by using these functions? How does it handle the motors? How can I turn off the laser printer by using these functions? Hmmm. I guess your topic isn't about _standard_ C++ but about a platform specific implementation. I can model a universe on any platform that supports _standard_ C++ as long as I don't use any platform specific code. Discussion of the functions would be on topic. However, discussion of functionality that doesn't run on every platform is off-topic. If I have a home control (embedded) system that has the ability to open windows to control the indoor temperature and only an LED display, can it run windows? Is it a Windows platform? -- Thomas Matthews C++ newsgroup welcome message: http://www.slack.net/~shiva/welcome.txt C++ Faq: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite C Faq: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/c-faq/top.html alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ faq: http://www.raos.demon.uk/acllc-c++/faq.html Other sites: http://www.josuttis.com -- C++ STL Library book Back to top Alexander Terekhov Guest Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2003 5:29 pm    Post subject: Re: [OT] code for shutting down windows Thomas Matthews wrote: [...] Quote: If I have a home control (embedded) system that has the ability to open windows to control the indoor temperature and only an LED display, can it run windows?
