You can try Dev-C++ or wxDev-C++, a branch from the original Dev-C++ (you need to install Dev-C++ first, I think). The download package contains everything you need (compiler + IDE) and as far as I know everything gets installed under one directory so you should be able to run from a USB drive. I haven't tried it, though. > --- In [email protected], "Brett McCoy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 2:22 PM, Tim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I have searched the help files and the internet for a getline > > > function, and while the net suggests that there is one, my > compiler > > > says it does not recognize the function.
