Hi, can someone tell me why I cannot compile
a source file?  The "compile" is not highlighted
in the drop down menu.  Once ive named the file
the syntax highlight turns off?  Not had this
problem before, is there a toggle or something.

Also i used gotoxy(10,10) before, but DM with
target windows95 + console, dosn't recognise it.
What should I use as alternative.

Thanks

Paul

I'm not sure what's going wrong here.

Use www.digitalmars.com/rtl/disp.html

Hi Walter, sorted the compile/highlight problem. I wasn't adding the source file to a project! Duh.

Glad to say that I ported over about 20 programs today (DJGPP) with Windows 95 target/console.  All compiled without a problem, which makes me very happy :)

Ill look at the reference you gave for my display problems.

Getting used to another interface/compiler is frustrating as ive only used Turbo C & DJGPP before.  DM is packed with features and a bit overwhelming to begin with.  But ill get there.

Thanks for your help

Paul Warren
