[lug] OT: cpp programing question

[Rob Riggs]

Way off topic. Google is your friend.

itoa() - integer to ASCII - use the portable snprintf() instead.
_findXXXX() - retreive the files that match the search string. 
Nonportable. Must reimplement (probably already done -- use google). 
Another option is to use winelib, which may implement these functions 
for you.
