i just found code blocks. if i install that i can probably figure out how to escape the cygwin environment for the purpose of generating recent g++ code.
so it seems there is a good work around and since i dont need the visual forms environment or ms sql it will be a little lighter on the pc than visual studio light. very cool bit of surfing tonight. thanks, jim _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
