- Hi,
-
- I am taking a C class at school, and thought that I would buy a
- compiler to do some of the assignments at home.
-
- I picked up Borland C++ version 4.5, because, on the box it said it
- would handle regular C programming, and I thought that lateron
- I might get into some of the more advanced features.
-
- My problem:
-
- I simply want to edit and compile a no frills C program for dos.
- Could someone with this software tell me how to do this? All the
- documentation is geared toward C++, but I am told I can still
- use it for just plain C. Whenever I start to edit files, they seem
- to default to the Cpp extensions, when I just want to edit and
- compile simple C programs.
-
- Can anyone provide a couple of hints on what I should do when
- I run this software to do this?
-
- Direct email greatly appreciated.
- Thanks for doing your duty to help newbie-phyte C programmer!
