You can, but I recommend another editor with syntax highlighting such as Crimson Editor or Dev-C++. |

hc2995,
You can use any text editor to program in C/C++.
Write the code in a file and then open your command line window and execute the commands to compile that file into an executable. _________________ Support Team

Humm, havent gotten to compiling yet lol. I also have another question, say i make a program that has a bunch of files (sound, images, ETC...) would compiling it make it into an installer, or do i need something. I noticed that lots of programs use install shield, is it free? or do i need to buy it? _________________ Where have i been?

Thanks for the link, i have one final question:
The book i got from school is kinda old (they are using MS Visual C++ 5.0 on a win 95 machine) so i just wanted to know if anyone knows a good site to learn C++? Im looking at the library for C++ for dummies, but nothing yet _________________ Where have i been?

The code should compile fine in both OSs. However, if the program is compiled in Windows it can only be run in Windows, and likewise for Linux. _________________ Olly |
