Re: [Dev-C++] A question of professionalism

[Paul P. <pau...@sy...>]

I ran into the same situation and got around it by exactly the way just expressed.

entirely satisfactory to my instructor. The only problem I had was in the Lab test
where the configuration was so different from Dev C++. My 2 cents, for what it's
worth. :-)
