Since here it said 'successful', why did you still ask about wrongs?
Maybe some functions you used are not standard. So the program can not
run as you think. I think you can debug into your code, and try to
find standard way to implement them.

Did it actually go through the usual discussion and voting process? I
don't recall anything about it.

I didn't follow what was going on, I knew that someone - or group - was
unhappy with the way things were and was trying to do something about it,
but I didn't help. I feel that 99.9999999999999% of what goes on in the
world is beyond my control. There is still only one post on the newsgroup.
Here is it in it's entirety, posted by Gary L. Burnore. As I said earlier,
individual.net picked it up yesterday - Monday.

---- snip ----
The Last Call for Comments on 12 May 2008 initiated a five-day period
for final comments. Following this comment period, the Big-8
Management Board has decided by consensus to create the newsgroup
comp.lang.c++.misc.

For your newsgroups file:
comp.lang.c++.misc Development in C++, libraries, cross and
single targets

comp.lang.c++.misc is an unmoderated newsgroup which will serve as a
forum for discussing C++ related issues not a part of the language
standard. This includes development, libraries and single-platform or
cross-platform C++ programming techniques. Topics that may be
discussed
include:

- Idiom for archiving specific tasks.
- Discussion of portability issues in C++.
- Inquiries as to whether a particular library exists, or a list
of suitable libraries for a given task.
- Discussions of whether a particular library is any good, or if
it should be avoided in favor of a different library.
- Cross-platform programming techniques in general.
- Particular libraries, how to work with them and how they
work internally.

Posting of advertising and/or promotional material of any kind to
comp.lang.c++.misc is explicitly prohibited. Posting of binaries is
not permitted, with the exception of small binary components in
otherwise non-binary postings, such as PGP signatures or X-Face
headers. Posts must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and
similarly formatted messages are prohibited.

Actually, it runs with a cmd-like board without anything. But in VC+
+, there are pictures and I can play it but in dev C++, it cannot!

Since you use 'int main()' as main function, the application is
compiled as a console one, which opens the cmd window. Windows
application's main function must be WinMain(). I think you need to
check the compiling and linking options.

I also don't recall seeing any votes, but it seems genuine.
At least, I can find a reference to the group in the (moderated)
groups news.groups.proposals and news.announce.newsgroups.
Now, we just have to see how many servers will start carrying the new
group.

Ok, I guess it did. I don't recall it here (a logical spot) but it
seems to have gone through the process.

It sounds like a useless group to me, but I could be wrong.

Voting should go through the main group when creating a splinter, but
that's the Big Six's problem. Maybe it was referenced here and I missed
it.

Maybe, maybe not. Have to see whether it takes off and is actually useful
to anyone.

Um... this ng exists specifically to discuss C++ *language* issues. As I
understand it the whole idea of this new group was to create a forum to
discuss non-language-specific issues which nonetheless pertain to C++. If
it does take off - and thereby reduces the (substantial) noise of non-
language issues raised in this ng - then as far as I'm concerned that'll
be a Real Good Thing. Whether that will happen remains to be seen.

As I see it, most of the OT posts here relate to platform/compiler/
library/... issues, which generally have their *own* forums anyway; so
I'm a bit sceptical as to what purpose the new group serves. But we'll
have to wait and see.

Actually, I think the new ng would be an excellent forum for the willy-
waver contingent. Please let them all go there, now

Well, sometimes the minutiae bites... C++ is like that.
