    Smile Funny program

    Hi all,

    I have written a funny program that takes your name and then assigns you a silly name.

    Its written for MSVS C++ but should compile on any common compiler with slight modification:

    Two questions:-

    1) How can I make it more compact, especially with regard to the long list of switch cases at the end?

    2) [Probably off topic] when I send the executable to a freind it will not work - probably being quarantined by a virus checker. Could someone please help me or point me to a newsgroup that can.

    If you want to e-mail a program to a friend, simply rename .exe to something else, then your friend names it back to .exe when he receives it!

    Try putting the exe in a zip file, that usually does the trick. My school mail server does the same thing.

    Thumbs down

    Thanks MrWizard, I tried that too, and that dosn't work.

    I think I'm going to have to create a web page and get him to download it from there.

    Thanks for your replies...
