It works fine for me... Something about your compiler?

works fine for me also

Since you didn''t use any command line argument, it''s ok to leave the (int, char* []) out in your main. Other than that, I can''t see any problem.

ok, i''ll try retyping it it again... Dam*....

By the way, when you refer to "main" you mean the code in the middle of the { } right? i the C++ for dummies hasnt explained that yet.

Any way, thank you for your help, although it tund out to be a waste of your time...

I mean changing this:

int main(int nNimberifArgs, char* pszArgs[]) 

into this:

int main() 

are your settings right for the location of your include and lib files??

OK, i think i have found the problem, i could not get my compiler to work from MS-DOS, so i started it from a shortcut, It says NEVER start from shortcut. . . . i believe thats my problem.

but i cant figure out how to make rhide start from MS-DOS.

the instuctions are:

1. open an MS-DOS window by clicking the MS-DOS icon under the program menu.
GNU C++ is a command line utility. you will always start rhide from an MSDOS prompt.

2. Create the diredtory c:\CPP_FD|Char01 (assuming that your main drive is drive C).

thats all it says, and c:\CPP_FD|Char01 isnt working........

P.S. C++ is always this frusterating?
