Hi all. Now I've learned quite a bit of C, and I had a DevC++ compiler to compile all the stuff into a plain EXE. However, is it also possible to compile plain C with the VS.NET (so not compiling in the IL)? ------------- Gone.. |

| Don't think so, if you are pretty good with C you could just use C++.NET |

But that would lose the speed of plain C, since C++.NET isn't really C..  ------------- Gone.. |

| AFAIK VS.NET doesn't contain a C compiler |

Well, I downloaded the MinGW (using GCC) package. Still looking for a nice editor with a buildin GCC compile function. Anyone got any ideas? ------------- Gone.. |

Well, I downloaded DevC++, quite a nice program, with nice features. However, I need to have some header files, and they are not included. Does any of you guys knows these files? netdb.h ------------- Gone.. |

I did. But those files #include an enormous amount of other headers, which will link to other headers and so on. However, I did found out that they are based in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include. Does any of you guys still have VC6? It's 700 MB, and for just those files.. Wel.. ------------- Gone.. |
