Your following questions indicate that you have not read the file readme.1st or the FAQ, please do so beacuse they will answer a lot. If these are not on your CD you can download them from www.delorie.com > How do I compile it? This is answered in section 1 of the FAQ. > Does DJGPP run under Windows 98? Yes, in a DOS box. > If so, how do I start it? From the start menu, choose Programs - MS-DOS Prompt. This will bring up a DOS box where you can run any of the DJGPP programs. > Does DJGPP have a create file feature? You mean like "Wizards" in MSVC? No. > Does it only run under DOS? Yes. But of course, it will run in a DOS box under W95/98. > Where do I save my .cpp files I create? Anywhere you see fit. Create a directory somewhere suitable and use that. DJGPP places no restrictions except that the files must be accessible through the DOS command line. > What are the .cpp files in each Chapter on the CD? > Are the exercises menu driven? No idea. Ask the publisher. > I am excited about the book, but I am confused about compiling the file. Please read the file readme.1st and section 1 of the FAQ, you can download them from http://www.delorie.com/djgpp (follow the link to the Zip-Picker).
