Where's the "charm" coming from I think you mean "char",  I think the best
thing for someone new to do is get a book on C or C++ and read it through
plus do the examples...If you don't want to buy them I'm sure your local
public library has afew.  Posting problems on a newgroup is really a slow
was to get answers and is only really worth it if you've exausted all
answers...=)
