I'm not sure why you'd want to run ld.exe to run a program. If it's compiled
and linked properly, it should create an exe file for you.

If your file is called test.cpp, go to the directory where the file is
stored in the DOS prompt, and type:

gxx test.cpp -o test.exe

That should compile and link your file.

The latest beta of RHIDE has a printing function.

Shouldn't it be int main(), and shouldn't it return a value at the end of
the function?
