Such a succinct, helpful reply.

Where do you want to display the picture? A window? ASCII art in a console? What kind of picture is it?

Oh and BTW, get yourself a better compiler. You can get the RTM version of VC++ 2005 Express for free from MSDN as long as as you register it within about a year. You can get the C++Builder compiler as well, but AFAIK it doesn't have an IDE.

Another IDE/compiler that a lot of people use, and that's free is Dev-C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html)

Maybe I didn't try hard enough, but I couldn't make any non MFC win32 apps in VC++ 2005

You need to DL the appropriate Platform SDK as the Express Edition does not include the headers.

Thank you. For anyone else trying this, here's what you have to do: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ex...alc/usingpsdk/

just to add one more point, if you use or want to use Dev C++, it will require Simple DirectMedia Layer for graphics purpose.

No, not really, if all you want to do is to display a picture you can use the win api. Relevant functions would be BitBlt, CreateDC, SelectObject and others like them
