| Q:
I am a class XII student and doing a project in Turbo C++. I need
to display a couple of Bitmap / Jpeg Images. How do I do that ? |
| A:
C and C++ do not support JPEG files, but they support BMP files. If
you are using Turbo C++ include bgi.lib path in your compiling process.
You will have to use the function supported by it and have to parse
the header file to know the type of BMP files and then you plot the
file pixel by pixel. It is better if the BMP file resolution is 256
colors. |

During booting,my system displays a message box saying "Unable to

Please let me know how I can rectify this problem? |

If you are not on a network, remove all network components from Control
Panel > Network and install only the components that you require.

running Linux I get only a rate fps of 13.1 Could you explain this
discrepancy? |

It's got nothing to do with Linux. The plug-in you use isn't very

| Q:
I have an internet connection in my office about eight kilometers
away from my home. I wish to use the same internet account from my
home for net surfing, sending and recieving e-mails by just connecting
my home computer to the telephone via a modem. Is it possible? If
it is could you please guide me? I have Windows 95 in my office and
Windows 98 at home. Also, I wish to be able to access my files and
programs loaded in my office computer from my home. |
| A:
Yes, it is possible. You will have to connect two modems on two telephone
lines to the machine connected to the ISP. You will also require a
remote administration software on the machine. Once you have this,
you can dial in from the other machine to one line. The other line
will be used to connect to the ISP. You can then use any proxy server
software to share the connection. |
