If they aren't working for you, please tell me where they went wrong so I can see about improving them. |

Posted in reply to Walter | I understand that the compiler is in \dm\bin\dmc and that you can type your instructions in men.exe but how do you actually connect the two and compile it. Adam |

Have you successfully opened a command prompt window? |

Go in Start->Run
in the "Open:" field, type in "cmd"
A command prompt should appear. Something like:
C:\Document ad Settings\username>
is the *prompt*
type there:
C:\Document ad Settings\username>dmc
and report the results back.

Posted in reply to Cesar Rabak | When I go to type in dmc after C:\Documents and Settings\username>, it tells me that it is not recognized as an internal or external command. What should I do now? Adam |

This is what the line 41 of 'readme.txt' in the Digital Mars compiler installation says you to do. |

A command prompt window can be created on XP by clicking on [Start][Command Prompt]. |

Posted in reply to Cesar Rabak | I get what your saying except I don't really understand what the extension .BAT or .CMD is or how to create it. Is what your saying pretty much just a shortcut that is placed in the location or is it something else? Adam |
