All depends on the OS and the hardware used on the target computer. For each OS there are interfaces to the different programming languages, the A(pplication) P(rogramming) I(nterfaces), which provide functions and/or classes to access the hardware. The choice of the interface controls the way of solving the tasks. Regards fronm Germany Franz-Leo
