>>>Jerry>>> In addition, I find the POCO manual hard to comprehend. Can you recommend any other reference that may be somewhat more clear to a beginner. I have some books on QuickC, but fear that the syntax may be a very different animal than that used in POCO. Any suggestions? The POCO manual does take some getting used to. It's nothing more than a dictionary of POCO functions and a short list of those functions from the C-langauge which are permitted. If you have QuickC (Microsoft), there was a manual included with that product called "C for Yourself" which is very helpful. The syntax between C and POCO is the same. POCO is a subset of C in addition to its own functions. Any book you find helpful with C will help with POCO. If you have an older version of QuickC which did not include "C for Yourself", you can still use the other manuals to look up the "additional C syntax" in our POCO routines as we plow through them. <<<Jerry<<<
