Hi, Coming back from java to c++. I wondering if there's a standard set of utilities for c++ like there is for java. In particular, I'm looking for a way to read from a URL, to send an EMail, and save a PNG or a JPEG. Many thanks in advance!

None of that in C++ unless you write it yourself. Actually you don't usually need to. There is either support from you operating system or you can download and use libraries. So th e"write it yourself" part means it is not part of the standardized language. -- WW aka Attila Back to top Bura Tino Guest Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2003 9:37 am    Post subject: Re: Some java-like utilities?

OK, if no Sun-like entity wrote it -- someone must have written it! For own personal use if not for the greater public good!

OK, if no Sun-like entity wrote it -- someone must have written it! For own personal use if not for the greater public good! For most common things there C++ libraries available, so usually there is no need to write one yourself. However many of those libraries are tied to one particular platform (or only a few platforms) because standard C++ has no builtin support for platform specific I/O functionality like sockets, graphics...etc. The best place to ask for the kind of libraries you are looking for is a newsgroup dedicated to your particular platform, or use Google to find one. -- Peter van Merkerk peter.van.merkerk(at)dse.nl Back to top Ivan Vecerina Guest Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2003 11:00 am    Post subject: Re: Some java-like utilities?

Some ideas: - http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ A bunch of utilities for all kinds of TCP/IP transfers. - http://www.libpng.org/ The reference implementation for PNG (& more) - http://www.ijg.org/ - a working free jpeg library Also: - http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/xnview/engfl.html Support for >360 image formats (!), free for non-commercial use (and more upon 'agreement'). - http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html For advanced multi-platform networked applications... hth, Ivan -- http://ivan.vecerina.com Back to top Agent Mulder Guest Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2003 11:54 am    Post subject: Re: Some java-like utilities? <Bura Tino> Quote: Coming back from java to c++.
