    yeah that's her hutch. She's close to making her 2nd aniversary. Her name is Inês ( Agnes in english ). Well...about the OS...I have this instalation already for more than a year. I always heard that a healthy OS endures about 6 months tops. Of course this depends on how much care you put into it. I dont really go to unrecomended sites or download pirated files. So i feel it's ok. I have to say that i'm kinda happy with my computers performance. Like I said i'll take you guys word in account next time i reinstall. Thanks.

Speaking of VC++ , is there a newer version that is of reasonable size? I looked at the VC++ 2008 Express version on the Microsoft web site and the install size is something like a 1gb. It's hard to believe such a large install is required to compile some C code! I think my install of VC++ 6 is something like 200 mb.

cman,

See if you can ge5t your hands on VC2003, it used to be called the VCTOOLKIT. You will need the compatible API libraries added to it from that era SDK but that combination will build most C examples. You can also use Pelle's C which comes in much smaller and generally works well.

Hi dedndave , could you post the link for the VCTOOLKIT ? I've looked a around a bit and always seem to end up on a "page not found"  dead end. Thanks .......
