[Dev-C++] DirectX 9.0

[Scott S. S. <age...@co...>]

Because I am short on cash, I cannot afford Microsoft Visual C++. I am 
using Bloodshed Dev. However, i read that you cannot use the regular 
Direct X package Microsoft provides. I know you must download a 
special version of DirectX for Bloodshed Dev. I can find DirectX 8.0 
on the bloodshed.net site, but not DirectX 9.0. Would someone please 
help me find out where to download the DirectX 9.0 SDK for bloodshed? 
And also, is all the syntax the same?
