Day 1218

Good progress with Visual C++ - nearly worked out how to have a program just display a message box, then terminate.
Carried on with the ANSI C examples, out of a sense of duty more than much else - this linked list stuff is less than interesting. It is a good book though in the way it develops C++ concepts in C. Though I ought to remember what that bloke at Effolk said about C - I ought to brush up on my Pascal and Modula-2. Wish I could get the hard disc on my own computer working again.
