C is an interesting and venerable language that is still in use commonly for many things. This set of instructions will help you use the free Bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and the standard MinGW compiler that is its default compiler. This software is freeware and very good freeware at that. I hope you enjoy the ride. This will be a series of command line (DOS or DOSbox) programs, if you are interested in learning. Lets begin by simply saying that the software can be had at the URL below. http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html
It is currently the version 4.9.9.2 Beta that I'm using. The screenshot shows it in old timer mode on an old Windows 95 box used for goof off. It works very well in most circumstances for console and Win32 API programming. There are some drawbacks and tricks you need to pick up for the IDE, but the MinGW compiler is a definite ANSI compliant C and C++ compiler. So, on to the show!
