I could not really help unless you had an example bit of source that doesn't
work the way you expect it to. When your writing lists like this you should
try to break the problem down into a simple small main that shows the
problems o we can help fix it.

Subject: RE: [BULK] get minutes of system time as int in c++
I will look into that. Google seems silent on the subject, but I have
probably not hit on the correct search terms that will uncover the
information. Do you know anything about getchar() and getch()"Getch seems
to react to a character input with no enter key, while getchar seems more
like cin>>. I used getch hoping for the results I am looking for, but,
while I can press letters of commands and have those commands execute
without me hitting enter, there is still a problem in the program; the
actual function I want will not run.
Have a great day,
Alex
