i just installed codeblocks and fired up a test. no problems. they make it easy to install. this way is easier for a beginner than trying to figure out how to update cygwin to a newer version of g++.
if i need to i can just install a newer version of MinGW. the g++ file properties in windows say created year 2004. that is probably ok because one book i have is copyrighted 2005. thanks, jim _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
