    Question Windows.h help

    I noticed in a bunch of tutorials, that some source code includes the window.h file. When I use that file, my compliers says that i do not have a window.h file. The compiler i use is dJGPP.

    What is the windows.h file and what does it do?
    Which 'a Huh?

    windows.h is for creating win32 programs.
    DJGPP is a protected mode DOS compiler.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    ah, that would be why I don't have it.

    Does Dev-C++ have it? I was thinking about switching to that anyway.
