Help!

Could someone please explain how to deal with strings in DJGPP C++?

Also, I would be willing to slave myself to the person that can tell me how to do simple stuff with graphics (lines, rectangles, dots, (bitmaps would be great))

There seems to be no provision at all for graphics in this DJGPP environment (there isn't even a graphics.h file as such!)

I can do classes, macros and god knows what else, but graphics and strings are foreign soil to me (in C++ anyway, I can do it all in VB!).

Any programming deities listening? Kedaman, Parksie...

You can have my girlfriend for a week instead of me if you like!!! heh heh
