- Ok... clarification needed. I just bought BC++5.0 and installed it
- and had problems with the help. First, I got a checksum error on one
- of the help?.pak files. I hit "Retry" and it worked after that, but
- all of the shortcuts it created to the help files had invalid targets.
- Is this happening to you (and others)? Should I be concerned?
-
- PS: I'm new to C++ (only used ANSI-C on a Unix system until now).
- I'm learning the IDE (very nice). Any suggestions for good books on
- learning specifically within Borland's IDE? Currently I have
- "Schildt's Windows95 Programming in C and C++" from Osborne/Mcgraw
- Hill which is generic.
