On line applications? Will they ever catch on? Well I can see some advantages even for the home user and it could be Microsoft that pushes people that way.

So why would a home user want to use an online word processor? Your data being available where ever you are seems like a business advantage not a home user one. However, actually being able to get at my documents from the lounge when the kids are using the office PC is really handy but

I love that phrase “This page intentionally left blank”. Makes a manual seem a

Arrrgg, I’m getting overwhelmed (overrun, over excited??) by compiler warnings. Yes, I know they should be dealt with because

a) they might be a problem

b) they might be a problem later

c) they stop you seeing the real errors / warnings

However, this code compiles on N different platforms and can have N*N compile options which means that sometime parameters / variables are used and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t want to see 100’s of “warning unused parameter” messages. Neither do I want to confuse the code further with more #if’s to take them out. I could cast them to void but there are a hell of a lot (it’s recycled code) but basically an unused parameter or variable isn’t a hanging offence why bother? There are a few other messages of a simillar nature.

Ideally I want a global setting for both g++ & ms vc that will turn off selected warnings. MS vc lets me use #pragma but I need to set it in lots of files

If anyone knows how to do it (or wants to hack g++ - it is open source) to do it please let me know - I’m warning you, I may go mad else

- I’m warning you, I may go mad else

OK, I’ve just wasted more hours than I care to think about trying to build an app on linux. My source code works fine on windows, compiles & links on

Sorry for the long quiet but things have hit the fan around here. The powers that be have given my boss his cards & appointed the youngest and least experienced guy in the department as team leader.

I guess that is the way of IT because when I say least experienced he’s probably not the least experienced in the kind of technology that they want us to move to.
