Tom- I sure appreciate the responce. To be more specific, I'm having trouble merely setting up. The number of files and the similarities of their dir names and extensions has me a little intimidated. I mean, I understand a little of the fundamentals, includes are the headers that go in the code itself, libraries are added at link-time, there is usually (always?) an object file than is called a startup file, also added at link-time. I did what I thought the docs required as far as setup, but evidently I haven't. At the risk of confusing the story, the problem I had with ZC was that after compiling, assembling and, evidently, linking, the programs were not executable. These programs were as simple as the "Hello, world" thing. The point is, my problem seems not so much to be with C as much as with my tools. Maybe you'd be kind enough to give me a hand with just setting up my environment. Oh yea, when I try run DCC, I get a prompt to insert the volume "ENV:" if that is any clue. Thnx Steve
