- I am running exactly the same combination as you. I am trying to teach
- myself C++ right now and I am having similar problems to you.
- For a while, I thought I was misstyping the programs in the book that
- I am using, but then I realised that the programs in the book were full

- source code and an errata sheet.
- That solved most of my problems...except one.
- I can't use cin (the C++ eqivalent of scanf) to input floating point numbers.
- It is a bug that is isolated
- to Win95 I think and I have reported it to Borland.
- As to whether there are bugs when using C, I haven't come across any YET.
- I am learning C in classes at school, and I haven't been able to use my
- PC for any of them because we have to do them on UNIX, so I haven't been
- able to try everything yet under Win95 yet.

- GoodLuck.
