Ok... here is the code (... means other code that i did not include cus
this msg would be too long).

...

#include <string.h>

...

char path [255] = ("c:\\roby\\projects"); // PATH TO ICQ DIRECTORY
char path2 [255]= ("c:\\roby\\projects"); // UIN #
char file_txt1 = strcat (path, "\\test.txt");
char file_txt2 = strcat (path2, "\\temp.txt");

...

What do I change in above 4 lines to make it do what I want it to do?
That is: to give a string called file_txt1 the value of path and
"\\test.txt" put together. And give the string called file_txt2 the
value of path2 and "\\temp.txt" put together.
