(And actually see no comparative advantage for small one-person projects. It may be nice to use + instead of strcat() though. LOL And C isn't certainly obsolete nor redundant, I'm not the only one to think so, whereas C++ could very well be and sure is a messy language.)

Good job, I don't think there's much more ellegant code to accomplish the same.

The only thing I can think of is why you bother to declare the namespace once and again, instead of declaring once "using namespace std" at the start of the code. And why you declare main's arguments that you aren't using instead of declaring it (void)--or () which is the same. But maybe you have reasons. And sorry if I have just pointed what you know yourself after you warned me not to.

Very well done. And I bet the problem has the compiler to blame, it's up to it to make portable code portable as promised.
