Welcome to > > the real world Ya,I have used Powerbasic for a while and it is great,but the current version PB3.5 is only a 16 bit compiler.I payed $150.00 for it 2 years ago,had a ton of fun with it.I have heard a lot of great things about djgpp and allegro and since i want to move on to 32 bit programs from 16 bit ones and to VESA from VGA and lots of other issues,i am moving on to c through djgpp...But Powerbasic _is_ pretty cool,ya can slap out stuff really quick with it. > ------------------------------------ > 1.)how can i get rhide to make the .exe files go to a > specfic directory like: > c:\djgpp\projects\ ? > can i make rhide do this?how? Ok,its been suggested that i use a shortcut to rhide with the working directory bieng the location that i want the exe's to go. or run rhide from the command prompt while in that dir. > ---------------------------- > 2.i save all my settings to a .gpr file with rhide,but > i want to make these settings default for when i load > rhide...how do i do that? > Ok "rhide.gpr" in the same dir as the working dir,got that part,but there are still issues that come up even then. Its mainly a pain in the butt to open a little file edit it a little and hit f9.But untill a IDE that is nice to "non projects",i guess i will have to get used to it... > ----------------------------- > 3.I am new to c so this stuff is overwhelming me > a little,but i did make a hello world program: > void clrscr(void); Ok,i am reading tutors and stuff but some leave out a lot of things along the way,but this one: http://www.hull.ac.uk/Hull/CC_Web/docs/cnotes/contents.html DID tell me about prototypes...I got it,and now it works right. > my next step is to make it wait till a key is pressed > and then clear the screen and print something else..but > i will learn that on my own... well,i did a lot of other stuff playing with printf() for fun,but i am goin to experiment with strings and arrays b4 i get into getch() and stuff.... > ------------------------------- > 4. where's the darn faq for this ng...? http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq.html well,i know about that...i ment the "posting rules,and avoiding flames from this particular usnet group,and other conventions for comp.os.msdos.djgpp" kinda FAQ... > --------------------------------- > > 5. any pointers for learning c from scratch. time.... books... time... ya,i know,I will get learned one day. > -------------------------------- > > I am great fullfor anyones help and hope > i didnt ask to many questions at once.... Ya i did enjoy the responses and email.Ya'll is real nice folks i reckon. Damian Yerrick wrote: > A sig like this doesn't show up properly in the > proportional font used in Micr0$oft's news client. Well,i figure that a nicely formated piece of c code looks like crap in a proportional font too...dont it? And that file:// bug probably dont help either. I see that hardly anyone here has a sig at all... Maybe i should make one of those obfuscated c sigs or something.
