<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; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I want to thank everyone who has responded to my mail, and want to apologize 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to those who I gave help and examples that didn't work when I tried them 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;personally. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Good Luck and happy programming, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Danny
