Well whats the name of the exe, is it something like tc.exe tcc.exe, or vc.exe etc? also It cant be vC++ since 1.0 didnt come out til late win3.1.

does it have a help... about?


you do know that C++ is just a language, and not a program, since there can be thousands of "DOS" C++ Compilers.

I think it may be a Borland one which will do, if its blue then have a look on the menu, i would advise to dump the dos version though and get a better one.

If he's just learning off it, dos one should be ok, but in any case if it is the borland one, he needs to goto that Run menu and click Build.

hi all...yes its the borland one with a blueish background....i did a c++ course abt 2 years back and had to dig out my old notes.i will get stuck into it again and see where i go from here.its okay for me in the meantime.will upgrade when i cannot go further with it.
thanks for the feedbacck
