Dev c++ compiler problem

i'm using dev c++ compiler, I was just trying out some c code, just to display text on a screen, the compiler doesn't show this program. This is my code......

/* basic program */
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf ("text to be displayed");
}

any ideas?

what is the error that you are getting.. btw try to add

int main() in stead of just main()

I think it works. It's just that it's quits too fast that u can't see the results. Try

Code:

---

/* basic program */
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
  printf ("text to be displayed");
  getch();
  return 0;
}

---

Thanks for the code, I wasn't getting any error message, it kind of looks like the program was running but nothing was appearing, my desktop just kind of flashed as if a new program had been opend, the code I had put into the compiler was taken from a proper C book, think i'll put it in the bin!
