What is the difference bet. Turbo C++ and Borland C++ compilers ?

Is Borland C++ a true OOP ? What are the criterias ?

Is there a good book on C++ out there ?

Kennedy

Thanks in advance.

Rather than composing something, I'll refer you to a comprehensive expository
on the topic of redirection and it's use to manipulate programs such as EDLIN. 
In Simtel20 or any of its mirrors, in the MSDOS INFO directory, you will find a
file called REDIRECT.ZIP, written by Jan van Hulten in 1990.  The file unzips
to 600+ lines, so I hesitate to post it directly to NEWS.

While this only goes over redirection, there are other aspects such as
honest-to-goodness plain-vanilla-DOS string manipulation, counting and simple
arithmetic which deserve a similar treatment.  These have shown up in PC
Magazine's User-to-User column over the last couple of years.

If there's anyone who can't get it from Simtel20 or one of its mirrors,  e-mail
me and I'll send it, please specify uuencoded zip (13k) or straight ASCII (24k).
Offer good until Feb. 3.

The way i wanted to do this is invoke tha batch file whti a
value eg. download 15.

Not 15 would be the value for the IP address and LAN account.
but the problem os that i cannot put it in the config.tel file.

The way to direct it from stdin is easy just type
edlin filename < file2

where file2 would be all the commands for edlin.

You will find that OS/2 2.1  will run on a 4 meg machine fairly well.  If
you're serious, monitor comp.os.os2.misc or contact me...I'll point you to
someone who's running it in 4MB.

Try:

static int x;

/****** end of test.h ****/

this will limit the scope of x to the file (it prevents
that other .c files can access 'x' by the use of the 'extern'

What makes you think the same thing couldn't happen on say a UNIX system? Or
any other system that supports multiple directories and an execution path
mechanism.

I see this type of thing all the time on UNIX. Users just need to be aware
of their environment. I think, whenever there is any doubt, to use a DOS
utility similar to "which" to tell where it actually found a specific
program.

Hi everyone,

I have an interesting question.  I want to write a batch file
which would do the following:

1. Down load our backup software from one of our LANs.  The
   software is not in compressed form but regular files.
2. Edit the autoexec.bat file to login to separate accounts on
   the LAN (e.g. user1, user2 etc)
3. edit the config.tel file (for use with telnet) and change the
   IP number in it (e.g. 129.174.1.1 129.174.1.2 etc)

I have a pretty good idea of how to do the downloading would
work.  There are about 50 computers which have to be configured
with the above procedure.  So far we have used manual ways to do
this.  If anyone has a nice way of doing this please let me
know.

I would appreciate if you could semd me an e-mail since our
newsfeed is quite slow.

Make certain that you are on the correct pin.  TTL represents a 1 as
+5 volts where as RS-232-C represents this as -12V.  TTL represents
a 0 as 0 volts where as RS-232-C represents this as +12 volts.
Just read it today while looking at a circuit to use the RS-232-C
port to speak to my ham readio gear which uses TTL.

It's huge if you install the MS windows parts.  The libraries and DLLs
for windows not to mention the extra executables make up a substantial
part of the overhead.  I think that if you don't use the windows parts
you can get a BCC installation in under 5Mb.

C++ is just Ansi C with objects, isn't it?  Don't install the class libraries
and such and you'll save even more space.

I hope this is a suitable newsgroup to post this in, but I was getting sick
of wading through piles of names. What I want to know, is how you can jump
to DOS from Telix (v 3.12) while still sending keystrokes to the modem. The
modem is on com3, which telix doesn't seem to ba able to handle. You can
"redirect_dos" to com1 and com2 but redirecting to com3 causes it to crash.
Has anybody been able to figure out how to shell to com3, or has anybody got
documentation for the redirect_dos function (SALT.DOC doesn't cover it).

Thanks in advance,

If You need background running because your disk-transfers are time-intensive,
you could use a caching program with delayed write (as HyperDisk).

me.  I'm in the initial stages of writing a program.  So far, I've only made a
a main function that calls this other function which is in another file.  What
The main module doesn't do anything but call the other.  It's got like all of
5 lines of source code so far.  The module it calls, though, uses stdio.h,
string.h, and conio.h for a bunch of gets() operations to input some things.
That's basically all these do.

My question is, how come it only works when I compile with the compact or
larger models?  For example, for this code:
	char *s;
	gets(s);
	printf("S is: %s\n",s);
The last time a gets() is run, it'll print that:
	S is: (null)
no matter what you type in.  BTW, the code is EXACTLY this way.  The stuff
typed in gets lost by the gets() by the time the next line is run. ???
UNLESS, I compile with the compact or larger model in TC++, in which case the
problem disappears, WITHOUT touching the code.  Now, I know all
this probably has to do with the amount of memory set aside to allocate
all the variables and other stuff, but it's a relatively simple program.
Sheesh!  Does it take all this memory and stuff?

Could someone knowledgable please respond?

OK, just when I thought I had it figured out...  Assuming HIMEM.SYS is
loaded and I can access the driver functions, how do I get data into and
out of extended memory ?

The only driver function for moving memory takes as arguments source and
destination Extended Memory Block handles that (as far as I can tell) can
only point to extended memory blocks.

If the only way to move data to/from extended memory is to switch to
protected mode (something I want to avoid) how does one get the address
of the EMB from the EMB's handle ?

Can anyone suggest a book/article that deals with this subject in depth,
preferably with examples ?

Thanx,
