c++ assignment

I'd be interested to see it, if only for me to try and work out what it does.

I think I ended up doing a similar thing in my VB project (well, it was a database - everyone else in both sets did it in Access, apart from a friend and I, who did it in VB) - having to save data in a random access file. Maybe not the exact same thing that you're doing, but a bit similar.
