RE: [Dev-C++] Reading GCC output

[Johannes P. <joh...@pr...>]

Hi there
------------

Sorry for sending to your personal mail. but I have trouble sending to the 
DevCpp list. it something (well most of the times) reject my mail.
Also I want to ask if this IDE that you are planning to code. Will be 
compiler specific. For (exept for WinEdit) I am looking for a
IDE that can use almost any compiler. Like Borland C++ 5.

Well just wanted to ask considering I cant get onto the DevCpp list to ask 
this Question..

Thanks for your time and sorry for mailing your private..
