[Dev-C++] Cross platforms

[G.C.Harmon <gc...@gc...>]

Here is a chance to help another newbe. I chose to learn C++ because  
Java seems to be a rapidly moving target and I never could figure where 
to start.. However, I was informed that Java is "cross platform" because 
Java code is run by the Java Virtual Machine. Varying systems require 
their own JVM, but once that is installed, Java code will execute, 
independent of the OS.

How far off am I?
