Ive just finished my first C+WinAPI+WINSOCK app ever. No errors, no warnings (even on -Wall), it works like a champ!!
This post is to thank the people involved on creating DEV-CPP, Colin, Curtis, Saint Wayne, Tkorrovi, Valintine and Kip for taking their time to answer all my questions during the last month with very valuable info. I feel more confortable with C and the WinAPI now. I even look at the newbies questions and see that i know all the answers lol :) Thats just because of you!
Thanks a lot!!!

On some other board scripts, like vbulletin (flashkit.com, cprogramming.com) it is possible for admins and moderators to set "Stickys" which are threads that keep always on top of the others.
Usually they are named: "Read this before you post anything" :) That would be the perfect place to give 10 links on examples, names of books, the system("pause") stuff, the iostream explanation, how to upgrade and set dirs and paths on dev+gcc3.2, etc.

We have tried that a couple of times, but, many don't seem to want to look before they post, they just want to blurt out their question, and don't care / think about the fact that they may be asking someone to answer the same question for the 10th time today.

thats cause we have been handling help requests with fishes to many times... its easier to ask for help then it is to find out yourself... on that note... can you help me with my physics homework... ;-)

No problem. We do like to help, and see people do well. We only become mean if there are questions like "I have an error on line 5, how do i fix it?" are asked (nothing extra added). Have fun coding!

P.S. Out of curiousity what does your program do?

Hi Curtis :) My program is like this: You enter a list of ips or Hosts (up to 10 until now), a refresh time and a TimeOut. Whemn you hit start, it hides in the systray and pings all of them according to the Refresh and TimeOut parameters using icmp.dll and outputs the responses to a xml log using Expat.
I did everything from scratch with help from here, from cprogramming.com board and from code.box.sk guys.
Now im working on the second part which will read the log and create a graph.
I know its simple but its a real victory for me, i never thought i would be doing things like this :)
