Hi All:

Several years ago I tried Visual basic and never got to first base with it.
I found Liberty Basic and had my first program running in 2 days. The
introduction to Visual basic was so intense about the visual part of it that
I never got any thing working. well I'm back to try C++. The task I will be
doing is (for our hobby of genealogy) to download a page of obituaries from a
newspaper web site and remove the announcements to add to out data base for
searching. I understand there is something called 'A terminal application'
so that the running program would look something like the basic routines I
have written.

This is how I would like to start with C++. My recent programming
experience is with Liberty Basic and has to do with those downloaded web
pages and handling large text files (50 to 60 Mbytes of announcements).
Liberty Basic has memory size limitations that restrict the file size I may
process thus my desire to move in a different direction.

Any suggestions as to how I might get started in C++ without being buried in
the pretty visual stuff would be most appreciated. A sample of a simple
terminal routine that gets a file from the internet would be great. Thanks
for your thoughts.

From George:
I have no idea what programming in C++ has to do with the Windows Mail
program, I originally entered this question in the C++ discussion group! At
least I thought I did!
