 |
|
Hi, I found a program on the net and I'm having some problems with it.
Basically what this program does is communicate with Winamp, but it can
use the functions that are supposed to work only for Winamp plugins.
The problem is that it crashes in Windows 9x, can somebody please take a
look to it? It's very small :-)
I don't remember where I got it from, so I posted it here:
http://360software.dakotabcn.net/temp/WinampMagic.zip
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Platform-specific.
See the link that Mike provided.
Read responses before responding to them.
--
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is it such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

I read the page... ¬_¬
Well, I thought there was no problem in posting it as I saw a few post about
VC below.
Anyways, I use Delphi and I don't know if that code can compile in other C++
versions, so, sorry, I didn't know. Could you at least see it?

Did you read *all* of it? Did you understand what you read?

That's right, you're not the only one who has posted off-topic
material here. People who do will be advised about topicalily.
Also, sometimes even when a post is topical, some folks will
use e.g. "VC" or some other non-C++ term in their subject line.
That's no problem as long as the message content is topical
(i.e. only concerning the standard C++ language).

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Delphi a (Borland) dialect of
Pascal?

I don't think Delphi is C++, but in any event, it's not
topical here. We discuss only the language here, not
particular products.

I didn't see it, because I didn't look.
1. I didn't need to look because your message clearly indicated
it's not about standard C++.
2. Most folks won't download binary files due to concern
about computer viruses.

I read most of it, sorry but it was 6 a.m. and I was going to bed.

I shouldn't have put VC++ in the subject line, it's a console application
and I don't know if it will compile in other C++.

Yes, I don't know C++, I just know how to translate some stuff from C++ to
Delphi.

I'm still not sure about that...

It's a zip file with text files, for god's sake! How can that have a virus?

I've run out of ways to explain why your query is not
topical for comp.lang.c++, so I'll give up now, but
in parting, I'll remind you that the link I posted has
information about where you *can* get help with your
questions.
