    Question Close, but no cigarette

    I have the following code for a game of hangman that imports the words it uses from a flat text file called "words.dat". It works well. How though can I convert the words when they are brought in from the file to into pig latin to be used by the app? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <fstream.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>

    #define MAX_WORD_SIZE 15
    #define MAX_WORDS 255

    void LoadFile();
    void RunGame();
    void DrawGallows(int State);

    typedef char String[MAX_WORD_SIZE];
    String Words[MAX_WORDS - 1];
    int Count;

    void main()
    {
    char Continue = 'Y';
    cout<<"Hangman"<<endl;

    LoadFile();

    while(Continue == 'Y')
    {
    RunGame();
    cout<<endl<<"Do you want to play again (Yes or No)? ";
    cin>>Continue;
    Continue = toupper(Continue);
    }

    cout<<endl<<"Thanks for playing."<<endl;
    }

    void LoadFile()
    {
    char C;
    ifstream Datfile;

    Count=0;

    Datfile.open("words.dat");

    while((C=Datfile.peek()) != EOF)
    {

    Datfile>>Words[Count++];

    if(Count > MAX_WORDS - 1)
    {
    cout<<endl<<"Too many words in the file, stopping with "
    <<MAX_WORDS<<" Words."<<endl;
    Count = MAX_WORDS;
    break;
    }

    }

    Count--;

    Datfile.close();

    }

    void RunGame()
    {
    int Word;
    int Size;
    int State=1;
    int Subscript=0;
    char Guess[MAX_WORD_SIZE];
    char Copy[MAX_WORD_SIZE];
    char Letter;
    int Correct=0;

    srand((unsigned)time( NULL ));
    Word = rand() % Count;

    strcpy(Copy,Words[Word]);

    Size = strlen(Words[Word]);

    for(; Subscript < Size; Subscript++)
    {
    Guess[Subscript] = '-';
    }

    Guess[Subscript] = '\0';

    while(State!=7)
    {
    DrawGallows(State);
    cout<<Guess<<endl;

    cout<<"Guess a letter :";
    cin>>Letter;

    Letter = tolower(Letter);

    for(Subscript = 0; Subscript < Size; Subscript++)
    {

    if(Copy[Subscript] == Letter)
    {
    Guess[Subscript] = Letter;
    Correct = 1;
    cout<<endl<<"Good Guess!";

    if(strcmp(Words[Word],Guess) == 0)
    {
    cout<<endl<<"You won!";
    return;
    }
    }
    }


    if(Correct == 0)
    {
    cout<<endl<<"Sorry, bad guess!";
    State++;
    }

    Correct = 0;

    }

    DrawGallows(State);
    cout<<"The word was : "<<Words[Word]<<endl<<endl;

    }

    I'm sure that if you take a look here you'll find that converting a phrase to pig latin was a recent competition where the code was posted.
