    Hey all,

    anyone use this in a while? Im trying to teach a lab that HAS to use this and I have never used it before. Its a disaster app as far as I can tell. I can get as far as the editor but then when i try to compile/build/run nothing happens. Eg running a little hello world does nothing, no executable is produced, no output appears from the printf.. nada... HELP ?

    argh, back to command line id say but i dont get to choose. whats so wrong with gcc and a.out then eh?

    Any chance you are in NUIG? it has been ages since I used ole Turbo C ... AFAIR it was straight forward enough.

    Alt-W to access the window menu, and select Output, Message etc.

    Output contains stdout, Message contains any compiler/linker messages.

    IM in UL. cheers for that. I'll try it in a few mins, fingers crossed, lab on soon and Ill look really silly if cant even get the IDE to co-operate. Its a horrible setup. Cant seem to find any quick ref guides or anything, I guess its so prehistoric noone needs em.

    F6 switches between open windows too if that helps.

    It'd be far more useful to show them gcc and a Makefile alright ... I remember entering the real world and being amazed at how irrelevent the 'tools' I used in college were, and all the time gcc / gmake etc were there in the public domain.

    If its the old Borland Ide that you are using then try the following Help.
    Its been a few years since I have used it.
