I'm using Microsoft Visual c++, dos prompt program. How do I create an executable to save to disk?? There are text fils used in the program if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Did you compile and link a program? Are you able to run this program from VC++? If yes, then there already is an executable. If you are building the Win32 Debug configuration (the default), then the .exe file is in the Debug directory under the folder where the source files are placed. If you want an optimized faster smaller version of the exe, change your active configuration to Win32 Release and look in the Release directory.
Hope that's what you meant.
yes, jlou, that answers my question. unfortunately, i've come to realize that since i have the introductory verision of vc++, i cannot utilize the exe. I also have Borland, which is not the intro version, so I'm trying to figure it out on that. Do you know?
when you're isung borland yo can go to the run menu an then select "build 'my program'" then it'll be in your project directory.....
i'm sorry for the mistake.......
I tried that (building in Border) of course, but there is no exe file in my project folder ?!
