This is due to old DOS legacy\n\n"con" is short for console. \n\nIn the DOS days, you could do\nCMD>copy con a.txt, type into the console, on Ctrl-Z, the file contents that you typed got saved as a.txt.\n\nThere are other reserved names like lpt1 etc. You cannot have files or folders called any of these reserved names.

Depends on your compiler and operating system. However, you can probably use the system() call from the C library (you can call that from a C++ program) or one of the exec functions. These exist on most Windows compilers and Linux/Unix too.\n\nhttp://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Executing-a-File.html\n\nhttp://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Running-a-Command.html#Running-a-Command\n\nNote that if you are not using gcc, your versions may be a little different than these.

If both computers are sharing the same network (router) --  I know this works on XP and 2000\n\nOn the old computer: put files to be copied to  the "shared folder". \n\nOn the new computer: Open an explore window, go to "my network places and find the other computer. You should be able to drag the files to the new computer (to a folder or whereever you want it to go)

There a few ways you can copy files from one computer 2 another:\n1 - you can burn data onto a cd-rw so that u can use the same disk over and over again.\n2 - you can use a flash drive to transfer data\n3 - if u have a desktop pc u can conect the hardrive from your old pc into your new one and copy them from hard drive to hard drive\n4 - you can connect them via network cable and enable them to share files\n\nI would suggest the burning to a cd-rw or using a flash drive if u dont know much about computers if u need any further help or information send me a message\n\nHope this helps!
