    programming in C with VC++ 6.0

    well I have visual c++ 6.0, and I am fairly familiar with the way it works, but a couple months ago I was trying to help out one of my friends with some c programs he had to write, and I checked the code, and it was fine, but are there and special settings I need or maybe different header files?

    There are certain fuctions which are compiler specific...

    For instance the functions to clear screen are different....as well as the file search functions.....those functions are usually there......just different

    well the one I was working on wasn't very complex... it just got a number from the user, then used a for loop with a step of 2 to sum up all the even numbers from 0 to the number entered, then explain it

    If you mean you need to compile C code as oposed to C++ code then you can use the project option /TC to force all files to compile as C (C++ will generate errors).
