Description:
I am attempting a speed comparison between Visual Basic 6 and C++ 6 .

I have a VB app I developed and I would like to see how a C++ app would go about getting the same results and how fast it would be in comparison.

What the app does:
User selects length of password and how many to generate. The app then makes that many random passwords and saves them to a text file. The vb app seems relatively slow.

If you could post an example of such an app it would be very appreciated. I know very little C++ so commenting would be a plus.

Thank you in advance.

Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.

2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.

3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.

Platform:
Windows 2000 or XP

Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on:
Mar 22, 2003 EDT

I'd love to do this but I just need to know one thing, what sort of formula are you using to generate the passwords. Aside from that this would be a very simple process.

Okay. I'm sure I can manage that. I should point out though that the number of passwords to be generated can only be optimized so far, I've had a lot of experience optimizing so that doesn't worry me, however it will be your CPU speed that will slow down the generation.

Random lengths are not a problem at all. Hope to be working with you.

Cheers,
Adrian
