Converting 16-bit 'C' to 32- bit c++/vc++..??
Hi,
I have an application code written in 'C' for DOS.
Now i want to port this code for windows OS. There are quite a few hurdles. First the entire code is very vast.
2) VC++ compiler does'nt support lots of 'C' header files.
Any suggestions..????

i would suggest that u start converting your structured C code into object oriented C++ code first and then use MFC in VC++ and then proceed with debugging n stuff

If your application works directly with hardware (graphic card) then you will have alot of problems with win2k. You'll need to convert all the graphics to work with the windows drivers (and directx).
that's y i suggest the above steps, by abstracting it then rewriting it in win32

It uses Graphics VGA as shown below.
Is it that i really don't have any other option left..??

void Initialize(void)
{
int xasp, yasp; /* Used to read the aspect ratio*/
registerbgidriver( EGAVGA_driver); /* egavga driver linked in */
registerbgifont(small_font
GraphMode = VGAHI;
GraphDriver = VGA;
initgraph( &GraphDriver, &GraphMode, "" );
ErrorCode = graphresult(); /* Read result of initialization*/
if( ErrorCode != grOk ){ /* Error occured during init */
printf(" Graphics System Error: %s\n", grapherrormsg( ErrorCode ) );
exit( 1 );
}
getpalette( &palette ); /* Read the palette from board */
MaxColors = getmaxcolor() + 1; /* Read maximum number of colors*/
MaxX = getmaxx();
MaxY = getmaxy(); /* Read size of screen */
}
