Hi !

I don't know if I can post this, but I'll give it a try. I in dire need of a project idea to put on my resume. I have basic knowledge of C, c++ and some knowledge in data structures and I am looking for a project idea something I can work on to show in my resume.

The problem is this is going to be my first project and I don't really have any knowledge about windows programming or graphics....

Several dull ideas like :

a linked list based contacts manager (working in command mode)
a book library linked list based ( command mode)

have popped into my mind but these are worthless without attaching a interface to it, nobody wants to work on these in DOS.

Can anyone give me some suggestions to work on that do not need any windows programming or any graphics. I am open to work these in three different platforms C, C++ and 8085 assembly

looking forward towards some brainstorming !!!!!

1. Communication protocols.
(Take some algorithms for communication protocols and implement them.Use your implementation to transfer any kind of data).
2. Database management.
(Simulate many stores that work with many warehouse's)
3. Integrate (1) and (2).
(Implement a database created from information that comes from a remote server. Do some manipulations on the data).

Last year I wrote a spellchecker.
It reads a dictionary file and a text file.Then it looks for the words in the text file in the dictionary.
(This project uses Red Black trees and hash tables).
