If you believe that something > can be done in TextPad but not in C++, then you might know a lot about TextPad > (more than me even) but not that very much about C++. Ah. I see the confusion. Visual C++ is an integrated development environment designed to help people develop applications in C++. The original questioner, way back then, wanted to use the Visual C++ integrated development environment as an environment from which to launch applications in PHP. The Visual C++ integrated development environment isn't designed to do that, it can only launch (and debug) applications written in C++. So I suggested an alternative method of achieving such a goal (i.e. using TextPad as an IDE). It is obviously true that C++ (the language) could be used to WRITE such a launch platform, and it is also obviously true that Visual C++ (the IDE) could be used as an environment in which such a launch application could be written, but that wasn't what the questioner was asking. He/she wanted an EXISTING launch platform, and was asking if the Visual C++ IDE could do the job. I hope that clears up any confusion you may have had. Jill PS. Thanks for your killfile suggestion, but I honestly don't have time for this childish nonsense, so I'm leaving the list. Bye now.
