At school we use Visual C++ which I would rather not buy if a free development environment is available that can read the work started in class. Is there a way to get Visual .dsw workspace files to work in DEV?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If the vc++ files are just simple console apps you could load dev-c++, create a new source file, and cut and paste the code in. If the vc++ project is complicated, such as a full blown win95GUI app you can create a project and include the sources in. Just remember that command line options are different (this is a different compiler) and you wont be able to just load up the vc++ project and compile it. Library differences are also going make some syntex errors so don't assume the code will compile without changes. I'm working on a project converter, right now it reads in the dsp/dsw files, I need to finish the output, but I'm waiting for dev5 incase of project file format changes. :)

You don't need workspace files. Just create a new project in dev and import each of your modules to the project. :)
