- No offense, but it looks like more than just C++ help is required here :P
-
- It would help if you mentioned what compiler ... And how much programming experience you have.
-
- On any Unix box, just do "man cc" or "man gcc" (assuming gcc is installed). If this is on a
- windowsbox, any decent compiler will have a bevy of help files. Granted, these help files
- aren't sufficient to completely teach yourself c++... But if your problem is that you don't
- know c++, a better investment for now would be to go out and buy one of many C books, then move
- towards C++ (imho)
