RE: [Dev-C++] How many versions are necessary?

[Michael D. S. <for...@hi...>]

Afraid of that. I suppose that's why downloads often have different links 
depending on your OS, which brings up how many different versions are 
necessary?

I'm "pretty sure:)" I'm cross platform on UNIX -- if I can find a UNIX 
server to compile it on.

Going back and looking where I didn't pay much attention when I downloaded 
Dev, I see there's one download for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP although I'm 
sure for other programs I've seen different versions for different Windows 
platforms. One jerk crashed my system by not telling me his "program" was 
XP specific. I really don't want to be remembered forever for an incident 
like that.

If I compile a Windows version with Dev C++ here on my old '98 box, will it 
work on all Windows systems or just some -- is a 9x version, a 2000 
version, a XP version necessary? Keep in mind, this CGI isn't a lot more 
than "Hello World." It's purpose is to output some text (HTML) to standard 
out. If I was creating a window of course it would be Windows specific. But 
even setting up standard out could be, probably is, platform specific so...

Where does a setup program fit -- have anything to do with this problem? In 
general, they don't seem large enough to contain a compiler.

If you got this far, thanks for listening to my confused ramblings. 
Comments appreciated.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something
