BTW, you always have a choice. My recommendation is to talk to your teacher. You are now armed with the knowledge that what your teacher is teaching you is outdated, obsolete, and useless in this industry. Ask them to let you use modern compiler technology and components for the assignments. If they refuse, you still have plenty of choices. Do the assignments twice. Once with modern compiler technology. Once with the ancient Turbo C compiler. Hand in both for your assignment with each clearly labeled. You'll get a decent grade AND you'll learn how to author software correctly. Your teacher will likely be impressed and wonder why you are doing each assignment twice. If you have parents of the variety who are paying for part/all of college, print off and show them this whole online discussion. Upset parents vs. teachers = parents win = you win = a better education. You need to work hard for the best education you can get. IIRC, there are several teachers here on c-prog. Your teacher would benefit greatly by joining this group. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
