I''m just curious if the good ol'' fprintf() and fscanf(), etc, functions will work with windows in a... happy way. Or are there specific windows or standard C++ functions meant to do this? Thanks :] - Goblin "A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Deal."

Windos has its own functions lread() lwrite() ReadFile() and so on. I´d recommed using those in windows but I´m not sure does Ansi C I/O work properly.
I´m on my way to Linux

The good old file I/O functions should work file, Goblin. I use them in Windows all the time.

They work fine - I actually think they call the Windows API functions (when running on Windows of course). There''s no reason to use Windows'' own functions since they are not portable (which the standard ANSI C/C++ functions are).

I use the old DOS funcs too.

In Windows, they''re provided for compatibility but all they do is eventually call the Win32 API functions.
