ShellExecute() is part of the Win32 API. It''s not VB specific.

So in short, yes, you can use ShellExecute() in a windows executable programmed in C++.

the C equivalent to that would be system(const char* cmdline)

if you mean one byte at a time just use something like

char b;
read(fp,&b,1);

I might have got some of those arguments the wrong way round cause I haven''t done c i/o for a long time
