More likely environment variables that can't point to two different places on the filesystem at the same time I'm Borland from ages past, but found my self in an MS shop using VS, which I hadn't touched since a very painful and frustrating bout with Version 1.0. The thing actually works now, and fairly well, if you can excuse the MS penchant for trying to make their IDEs predict your next move and do it for you, thus forcing you to spend a fair amount of time undoing the damage the IDE has done to your code while it was 'helping'.

Borland from ages past, as in late 80's - mid 90's? i hear ya, but c compilers have changed since then, while borland has all but shit the bed.

but yeah, Microsoft is famous for making their stuff, um, "helpful" thats why i prefer to stay with GCC. (except at work, i have to use National Instrument's peculiar C libraries....)

I just downloaded Code blocks today since alot of people here said its cool etc I also have also msv8 it have everything msv8 has + it opens faster and got gcc compiler so I vote code blocks for msv8 you need like fast computer i got alrdy 3 mb of ram at my laptop and it still opens slow

i donnow know
