its C++ .. cant use PHP assignment is a final program
must all be done in c language .... i can make my program open a telnet window ... but not a i explorer window ... i found the system command for it .. but the system command only runs from the windows environment i cant seem to call it from
the code ive written...weird

i think ive sprouted a few more grey hairs from this one
