I haven't tried it, though.
Hey Tim, I think Dev-C++ can run standalone from a thumb drive. I just did an installation on my Linux laptop via Wine (an open source implementation of the Windows API) and it installs everything under one directory (default to C:\dev-cpp, but you can change) and doesn't appear to install stuff all over the system or require any special libraries beyond the system libraries under Windows. And yes, to anyone who is interested, I could compile a Windows application under Dev-C++ in Wine and run it. :-) -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi
