I recently bought a used Focus on SDL book with CD-ROM on Amazon.com, and the CD-ROM will not work at all.
Whenever I try to access any of the files, it just brings up a disk error message. For now I have to type out the programs from the book.
I really don't want to return the book just because the CD isn't working , will anyone help me out?

Re: Problem with Focus on SDL CD
Well you are entitled to a working copy of the CD since you bought the book, but the return policy might just be wasting a lot of time. I'd check into the return policy.
Also, maybe you could ask Ernest Pazera. You can find his contact info from google. He is a nice guy.

If you get anywhere with this, I'd be interested in the projects. I bought a used copy of Focus on SDL, but it didn't come with the CD =(

Is it copyrighted? Would there be an issue with me just sharing them with y'all? Can I get banned from this forum for even mentioning it?

^ High amount of sarcasm. :P
Seriously, the dude bought it, he's entitled.
I could have sworn there was a website or something noted in the book where you could download the CD. Hmmm...
Anyway, if somebody as nice as Maevik does share it with ya, then good for you. ;p
