copy to floppy

[Unregistered]

I am currently writing programs in C and using the microsoft visual studio compiler.How can i copy the program to a floppy so i can run on another computer.I 've tried it using MS-DOS prompt.But when I then want to open the program from the floppy it doesn't run totally.

If you are saving to floppy, then make sure you have supporting files on the floppy as well. Make sure you copy the .exe to the floppy.

I've done this.When I run the .exe file from the floppy,the programs start working but it stops after one operation.For exemple when I've written a program that asks for a number,he asks it but then the screen disappears.Perhaps it is impossible to do this with the microsoft visual studio compiler,at least when you write in C!!

try puting getchar(); at the end of main();

int main (void)
{
   char answer[20];

   printf("what is your name :");
   gets(answer);
   printf("your name is %s", answer);
   /* pause to view output */
   getchar();
   return 0;
}

add a getch() or equivalent to the end of your code.
