Hi,

In the "Weird Program" application I had some questions about a while ago,
I've been trying to change the "media" directory path name on the fly to
accommodate both Win98 and WinNT, each having the "media" folder in a
different directory (windows, and winnt).  I have been trying different
combinations of the AnsiString( ) function but none of the ones I've tried
seem to please the compiler.  Can anyone give me a nudge in the right
direction?  The code looks like:

        if (X == 10) PlaySound("c:\\WINNT\\media\\jungle asterisk.wav", "",
SND_ASYNC);
        if (X == 20) PlaySound("c:\\WINNT\\media\\jungle close.wav", "",
SND_ASYNC);

And I want to be able to switch the string "WINNT" with "windows."

Cheers,
Nick
