- : Get another book to really learn the 'c' language. One that asks
- : you questions to no end and asks you to design programs using what you
- : have learned. I'm using Sams The Waite Groups New C Primer Plus
- : second edition and it has taken me a lot longer than 21 days course
- : being I'm much, much older I have an excuse. It is a very good
- : reference manual as well and just like going to school.
- :
- : Re Pacific. Remembering that it is not a truly Ansi compiler it
- : isn't bad to play with but get a good true ansi one soon. One such as
- : TC3 or the likes. Check with the setups at the preference area for

- pacific ppd as indicated
- produces standalone executables
- as its normal outcome...
- these have file extension...
- .exe
- .
- such can be run outside the development
- environment.
- generally...
- in testing software it is best
- to test in the intended delivery
- environment, as near as feasible...
- since the normal delivery environment
- of such is not to execute within the
- development environment...
- why test there?
