I too agree that Mingw Studio is great. You should try it out.

Once Dev-C++ 5 gets out of beta it too will be excellent IMO.

I've read a little about it. I just don't do enough console stuff to make studying it more worth while.

It sounds like you want the conio.h functions, but the only windows compiler that supports that fully would be borland c++. I think that would be the easiest.

Win32 is just an API of c/c++ (or other languages but we will only discuss c/c++ for the moment) and knowing the language is an important step to being able to use the API effectively. I recomend...

Then you need to use other functions to slow down the process of beeping. You can get real fancy with timers but you probably only need a simple pause between each beep.

What version of Borland C++ are you using?

You may have one of the newer computers that do not have a pc speaker hooked up. Open the case and look to see if there is a single speaker on the case that is connected to your motherboard.

Try using the command "strip yourexe.exe". It will take out all the debugging information and probably bring the exe down half it's original size.

Another thing you can do is try to remove any...

I think he is asking for a multi-threaded compiler. One that uses more than one cpu for the purpose of compiling his source code.

I'm not sure of any right off hand. VC++ might do that in the...

There are a lot of books out. It depends on how self motivated you are, to know which one is best. Most people don't like the "21 days books" but I learned a lot from Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in...

Often times a simple command line "strip <executable>"will work to get the executable size down by stripping the debugging information. DJGPP is for DOS and it provides very large executable files...

I use Borland C++ Builder 5 Pro or whatever version of gcc 3.2 that is needed for the platform that i'm programming on. I find the multiplatform support for gcc 3.2 very helpful, but I use the RAD of...

I don't quite understand what your wanting. Can you please explain in more detail?

For Graphics in MS-DOS or Windows I use allegro. It has some of the more advanced features i'm to lazy to try and impliment myself. Allegro Home Page. it's also fairly easy to use with a good online...

Look up PlaySound in your WinAPI referance. You might not need a component with that.

I might be sounding ignorant here but where can I get information about that?

The problem with the format of the code from windows to linux is that windows/dos uses CR/LF and I believe that linux only uses LF. You can get an environment that will behave like linux for free...

In my experiance it is possible to do mode 13h in a window, but not by something done progmatically. Only a few video drivers support it though.

I don't know how useful this is, but I do know that borland has released their old Turbo C++ 1.1. You can find it in the museum on their community site community.borland.com.:D
