I wouldn't, unless your question is actually about the C programming language. (comp.lang.c tends to be rather picky about topicality.) Try one of the Windows groups, possibly comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, or perhaps one of the microsoft.* groups. Or you might consider installing the Cygwin environment, which gives you a Unix-like environment under Windows. See www.cygwin.com for more information. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) [email protected] <http://www.ghoti.net/~kst> Nokia "We must do something. This is something.
