I have been working through several test books on C++ Programming:
C++ All-IN-ONE-DESK-REFERENCE for DUMMIES by Jeff Cogswell
The Beginners Guide to C++ by Oleg Yaroshenko and another which
I can't lay my hands on right now.

Now this one which dealt with learning C++ through Game Programming and the
All in One both came with CD's which had Dev C++ version 2.9 on them.

Now every thing was going well except when it came to trying to compile programs containing
many source code files.

So I read through the FAQ's in this forum and learned that another chap stated that this was due to Microsoft
haveing files named Program Files and My Documents. so when I moved my source code for the All in one
from its default install location to a directory I named mycppstuff sure enough these files Which I could not get to compile began to turn out fine. Of course the Yaroshenko book only compiles as is on my old system
which has Caldera and its 2.4 Linux kernel otherwise one must add a line to the effect : using namespace std;

to compile with the modern standards of C++. Also the #include files heen their names upgraded.

So If you are having problems just take some time to read the material and perhaps you will find that others have already solved your problem for you.

I am currently getting ready to send another language to my series: An Alphabet of Computer Languages which has been appearing in the PCLinux Magazine: <http://www.pclosmag.com>
