Yes, `gcc' is a command line compiler, so you have to write the source before compiling it. You can use any text editor to write your source; DOS EDIT may work fine to start. Save it as a *.c file, then say something like gcc -o foo.exe foo.c As an alternative, there's a program called RHIDE which integrates editing, compiling and debugging. You can find it where you got DJGPP. -- Nate Eldredge nate AT cartsys DOT com
