Hi,

Tried that already.  I think it's kaput or something.  I went ahead
and downloaded mingw last night after discovering that Eclipse was
just an IDE and didn't come with a compiler the way vc ++ did.  It was
late though so, I forgot to add c:=mingw=bin to the path so, I'll be
doing that tonight.  Hopefully, I'll be able to compile using that.  I
just want something uncomplicated I can use as a learning tool.  Once
I've got a few programs under my belt, I'll wrestle with microsoft's
beastie again.  Seems eclipse is more accessible too.  Any thoughts?

Alex
