: But damned if I knew about half those commands.. let alone implement them...
which ones? maybe we could help enlighten you as to their meanings and uses?
a quick scan only showed me a couple of things that might not have been clear.
atoi: ascii to integer, takes a c-style string and returns an integer.
string.cstr(): returns a c-style string from a standard string.
: But man ... I felt like I'd never seen C++ before at some of those parts...
but what I really want to know is why did he decide to use long ints in some places, on any modern os/compiler a long and an int are the same, unless he was aiming for backward compatability with DOS.
