    Need a favor!!!

    Can someone take this program and run it in thier complier and let me know it it runs or not. I am beginning to think my comipler is messed up (Quincy 99). I get this error (gcc.exe: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations) when I try to complie or execute it.


    Thank you if you can help.

    #include <iostream.h>

    int main()
    {
    const int MAX = 50;
    int count = 0;
    int index = 0;
    float numbers_array[MAX];
    char ch = 'Y';
    int max;
    int min;
    int i = 0;

    do
    { while(ch == 'Y' || ch == 'y')
    {
    cout << "Please enter a number: ";
    cin >> numbers_array[index];
    index++;
    count++;
    cout << "Do you want to enter another number? (Y/N) ";
    cin >> ch;
    }

    min = numbers_array[0];
    max = numbers_array[0];

    while (i < MAX)
    {
    if (number_array[i] < min)
    {
    min = number_array[i];
    }

    else (number_array[i] > max)
    {
    max = number_array[i];
    }
    i++;
    }

    cout << "You entered a total of" << count;
    cout << "numbers." <<endl;
    cout << "The largest number you entered was " << max << endl;
    cout << "The smallest number you entered was " << min << endl;
    cout << "Do you want to re run this program? (Y/N);
    cin >> ch;
    }
    while (ch == 'Y' || ch == 'y')

    return 0;
    }

        do 
        { 
              while(ch == 'Y' || ch == 'y') 
             { 
    	cout << "Please enter a number: "; 
    	cin >> numbers_array[index]; 
    	index++; 
    	count++; 
                    cout << "Do you want to enter another number?(Y/N) "; 
    	cin >> ch; 
            } 
    	
             min = numbers_array[0]; 
             max = numbers_array[0]; 
    	
            while (i < MAX) 
            { 
    	 //numbers_array was number_array
    	if (numbers_array[i] < min) 
    	{ 
    	       min = numbers_array[i]; 
    	} 
    	else if/*missing if*/(numbers_array[i] > max) 
    	{ 
    	       max = numbers_array[i]; 
    	} 
    			
    	i++; 
           } 
    
           cout << "You entered a total of" << count; 
           cout << "numbers." <<endl; 
           cout << "The largest number you entered was " << max << endl; 
           cout << "The smallest number you entered was " << min << endl; 
            cout << "Do you want to re run this program?(Y/N)"/*missing " */; 
            cin >> ch; 
            }while (ch == 'Y' || ch == 'y'); /*missing ; */
    
            return 0; 
    }

    I am using visual c++ 6.0....
    Are you compiling from the command line? I am not very familiar with compiling from the command line but I do know that there are several steps to compile...
