Get some free compiler at the following URL:ftp://ftpd.borland.com/download/bcppbuild...ndLinetools.exeGood luck! :-)Etienne :-wave

Another free compiler is the GCC-2.95.2 Mingw32 version. Start at http://gcc.gnu.org/ and search their site for Mingw. Dai Griffiths recommended this version with his sd2gau12.zip. Check his sd2gau13.zip to see if a newer version is now recommended.
