What's the difference between c++ for Microsoft and c++ for Unix, is it only in the compile and the obvious environment differences? I'm familiar with perl and have coded on both systems for about a year now and on Unix for 3 years, and in 1 year of windows coding I've only been limited to what the os limits me too, like file locking is different, but the rest of the core language has never been any different from one system to the other. In most cases I can download an entire program off the server, change the pathways, and have it run in windows the exactly the same, just slower hehe.

Thanks,

The language is the same. The difference are in the tool and the libraryes. Also, MS C++ as programminc language has some small extensions and some small limitations. John Fill
