Be more specific -- when you say "can't get it to run", do you mean it
doesn't compile? Does it crash? Do you get any error messages? I can't
even tell how correct the code is because it's all pushed together on
a single line -- but it looks like you are also missing a LOT of
semicolons at the ends of statements, incorrect use of printf, no
brackets, misplaced quotes, use of Main() instead of main(), and so
on.
