I have recently created a playlist maker for a movie player program however it does not work on the windows 98 machine which it was designed for.
Basically this program takes the list of filenames from a directory, then the user selects which filenames that they want added to their playlist and then the playlist is created.
Now Because this win98 machine is networked to a winXP machine with all the files shared. The simplest way (as far as I can see) would be to run the program on the XP machine and look through a directory on the remote computer (for files to add to the playlist) then save the playlist to the remote computer.
This way I would not need to create a server and host (which due to win98 incompatibility may not work).
Cliffs:
How do I access a filesystem on a networked computer with all of the files shared?
would opening a file be something like
fopen(//computer1/c/windows/desktop, "w")?
