    Dual Core headaches

    I have XP Pro 32-bit edition running on an AMD X2 4200+ platform. It runs great most of the time, but occassionally a process just goes crazy and takes all the processing power from one core, it's been a few different ones so I don't think it's the programs. My only recourse is to kill the...

    atof with base information

    I'm trying to convert strings to base 10 integers... but I'm not starting in base 10, so what I'm looking for would basically be an atof function where I can also supply a base... anyone know if this is possible with built in functions, or am I writing this?
