This is Windows code, not Linux.

If you are forced to reinvent the wheel at least try to invent a better one!

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the reply, I am sorry to post the code since I am not aware of the fact that it belongs to Windows, Could you please tell me as to what I should do in order to find code that has buttons etc and can work in Linux terminal?

Any particular web site or books for the purpose?

Thanks a lot my friend for your time, appreciated.........
