[Dev-C++] Missing link from www.Bloodshed.net

[Ameer K. <sm...@vs...>]

Dear Sir,

Two links provided on the page www.bloodshed.net/dev/doc/index.html are =
not working.
They are  Paul Gerfen,s C/C++ tutorial for Dev C++.
Please check the same and correct.
Hope this will be available soon. Dev C++ is having no
satisfactory help files or tutorials which is a defect.
Hope you will do the needful for this ( if Paul Gerfens tutorial has not =
filled the gap.)

Also please let me know is there any considerable difference between DEv =
C++ 4.01 and dev C++ 5 beta.
Down loading 10 MB is  difficult for me with the slow download speed. If =
it is worth downloading please advise me I shall do it.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully

Concerning the compiler, there is always the GCC manual:
 <http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/onlinedocs/>
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/onlinedocs/
 
 
For Dev-C++ case, refer to 2.95.3 manual.
 

Also please let me know is there any considerable difference between DEv
C++ 4.01 and dev C++ 5 beta. 

 
The basic difference if i recall correctly is that 5.x uses the latest
MINGW 1.1 distribution, while 4.x used an older one.
 

Down loading 10 MB is  difficult for me with the slow download speed. If
it is worth downloading please advise me I shall do it.

 
 Well if i were in your case i would download the latest MINGW compiler
(which is about 10 MB) and extract it above C:\ Dev-C++, since i
consider the IDE of the 4.x more stable.

I upgraded the mingw to the 1.1 version, and it works fine, but I want
advice you that if you usually use conio.c, you can, before extracting
it to the Dev-C++  directory, copy your current conio.h and conio.c to
another dir and use it from other dir or with another name, because the
conio which is in mingw1.1 is not the same, and some of the capabilities
of the previous are lost. I don't use it from some time ago, and I don't
remember it perfectly right now, but I think that with the current I
could not set the colors of text and background or if it was another
functions which made errors in compiling, the same source that I
compiled ok with the previous one..

It seems that Paul Gerfen is stopping his website and his removing the 
contents out of it. You can look at his message at

There is a considerable difference, but it isn't ready yet for everyday use, 
unless you tweak it with latest devcpp.exe from the cvs. I would recommend to 
wait until version 4.9.4.0 goes out, if you have a slow and expensive 
connection

Colin
