Message: [QUOTE="Randy Howard, post: 2437171"] Jordan Abel wrote Not to disparage anyone else, but Jack just gave you one of the most clearly thought out and well-intentioned responses in this thread, to which none of the meat seemed to have arrived at its intended destination. That is unfortunate. No, it is not. The only way you could think that is for you to be relatively new to using it, particularly on cross-platform projects. Go ahead and try to get nanosleep() or GetWindowsVersionEX() to compile on multiple systems and multiple compilers. Good luck. After you've been around the block more than enough to break a light sweat, you'll realize how silly the above comment looks to those that were doing it while you were in diapers. Then by all means, spend more time on IRC. It sounds like exactly what you are looking for. Why the effort to create two of something, where you apparently already enjoy the existing one? That's like saying that you love your floor plan, and want to burn down somebody else's house so that they can also have a home with your floor plan. .... for people that are interested in learning, improving, or helping others with standard C. And oh by the way, learning how to do the core standard C sandbox "correctly" is 95% of the battle in learning how to use platform-specific extensions properly as well. By the time you feel you have nothing left to learn about C from reading this newsgroup you will either be dead, or so capable that no platform-specific library API will pose the slightest problem for you unless it is broken and not available for correction in source-code form.
