Todd, Borland provides C++ Builder (console compiler,linker, etc.) and Turbo Debugger free of charge. Here's the link: http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.html# You have to become a member of the Borland Developer Network but registration is free. You might also want to look at cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). From the site: "Cygwin is a UNIX environment, developed by Red Hat, for Windows. It consists of two parts: A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a UNIX emulation layer providing substantial UNIX API functionality. A collection of tools, ported from UNIX, which provide UNIX/Linux look and feel." It has ports of gcc and gcc2. As for the location of the .jedit directory on windows: Win9X/ME: c:\windows\.jedit WinNT : c:\winnt\profiles\<username>\.jedit Win2K : c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.jedit I think WinXP is has a similar directory structure. Hope this helps.
