    I`m using the WritePrivateProfileString and GetPrivateProfileString API things to write ini type files. But when I program it to attach these files to an email or add these files to zip, the ini file gets corrupted. The only way i can get round it is to pause the program for a few seconds. I think it has something 2 do with the OS still using the files. anyone of a better way around this ?

    Thanks

    You could open the ini file manually instead of using api's. Open in input, read all lines with Lineinput into a string array.

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
