<DIV></DIV>&gt;I give up on DEV-C++ I understand that it's a front end IDE for the gnu 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;compiler that comes in two compilers cygwin, and mingw. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;My reason for giving up is whatever compiler I use it won't accept ANSI 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;standard code and gives me false linker messages. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;One good thing I found out is that Bloodshed Software also distributes a 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Pascal IDE called DEV-PAS which is much more user friendly. Also the Pascal 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;language is much easier to learn (I learned it before I did C) using common 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;English phrases as opposed to C/C++. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;After reviewing DEV-PAS I found it is a much better IDE for creating 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Applications, both Windows and DOS console ones. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I will still subscribe to this group in the hope of problems being posted and 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;their possible solutions so I can learn more about 32 bit programming using 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;C/C++.

<DIV></DIV>&gt;I want to thank everyone who has responded to my mail, and want to apologize

Nor getch() nor textcolor() are ANSI C/C++ functions. They are
considered as system extensions. Dev-C++ has getch() but since
textcolor() is about graphics in dos, you are looking for some C/C++
graphic library (e.g. alegro).

Here is the code verbatim: 

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <conio.> 

int main() 
{ 
    int ch; 
    textcolor(BLUE); 
    printf("%s", "Hello world, this text should be Blue."); 
    ch = getch(); \\ I looked and getch() is in the conio header file 
} 

I had no problems compiling it, but the linker kicked out an error
message stating that textcolor definition could not be found. 

The only possible solution to this problem could be the include
directory in my setup so maybe I should change it to the G++ one. What
do you think? 

I want to kindly thank you for your response and look forward to
communicating more with you in the near future. 

Thanx 
Danny.

Allegro: http://www.allegro.cc
 
 
The compiler of Dev-C++ is MINGW32, there is a distribution of allegro
for this compiler. The latest compiler version can be found at
http://www.mingw.org/

Dev-C++ was my first free c++ IDE.

Thanks be to the Bloodshed developers -- you're doing a good job!

I moved on to Borland bcc 5.5. and Context
(http://www.fixedsys.com/context/) -- both free and this setup does a great
job building programs that use certain Win2000 specific API's that mingw and
cygwin haven't implemented yet.

A small suggestion to the Dev-C++ - if you made the Dev-C++ IDE able to
invoke the command line and parse return messages like 'Context' does ---
well, that would be the icing on the cake because it could then work with
Borland's compiler as well.

I found I had to upgrade to VC++ when beginning work in DirectX 8
applications, Dev wasn't easy to work with then. But I found it invaluable
starting off in the big world of programming.
Let's raise a glass to it ;)
