FILE HANDLING TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS
------------------------------------
This tutorial is intended who don't not a single thing about file handling in C++, one of the most important concepts of any type of programming. I intend to present this tutorial into 2 parts, but both these parts are independent of each other and you can start from any one.
This part focuses on:
->How to create files, read and write to them.
->The logic behind many commonly used objects like cout and cin [Did you know that cout is actually an object!!]
->Build your own notepad, "my computer" et cetra.
If any doubts persist you can freely sontact me at: shahab_faruqi@rediffmail.com

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

i found your article very useful in my studies and i even shared it with my students. I would be glad if you could help me find an algorithm and source code in C or C++ on how to compare the two bitmap files where the two mentioned BMP files are input.
Thnak you very much andf more power!!!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
