> FYI. stdint.h is not defined in MS VC++ so using uint8_t will not compile. wxUInt8 is defined in <wx/defs.h> so that may be a more portable solution. I haven't seen an equivalent in Boost either. I have seen a version of stdint.h for MS VC++ on the internet but I'm not sure of the quality or how portable it is between the different versions of VC++.

Thanks.

Bend over, Microsoft is coming.

BTW, WFT is VC++ and why do I care?

typedef unsigned long long uint64_t;

can the P.o.S. compile that?
