As has been stated before, the publisher should not have chosen to
include the gnu-win32 beta project for it's book. The true beginner is
going to be truely lost. Also, the contents of the CD are old. I
suggest that you return the book with the CD and get your money back.
Then apply the money toward courses in programming. The C language
itself is so technical that I would suggest that you don't start with
it.
