    Try taking a look at the 'Tear' program that comes with MSVC++, if you have this compiler. It contains the code to do exactly what you wish.

    I found the sample on msdn.com:
    Tear Sample from msdn.com

    There are probably easier ways to accomplish this using other libraries, I am sure, though...

    if you dont mind my asking, just what is a "theorical" question?
    it wouldnt happen to be anything like a theoretical question would it?
    i know that i dont have perfect grammar, and in case you havent noticed, i rarely use capitals, but check your spelling, (www.dictionary.com is a website) or at minimum spell it in some way the resembles the word you are trying to spell.
    theorical - the-oh-ri-cal
    theoretical - the-oh-ret-ic-al
    thats a fairly big difference

    -His case comes up next week."

    Hmm, did someone dig up an old topic? I remember helping you with a GET request earlier... this must have been posted beforehand.
