im very new at this so im not sure what im doing. i wrote a simple hello program in a text file and then saved it in the dmc bin. then i magically made a .exe file.... im not even sure how that happened. And now when i click on the exe file to run there is an error message that says that "the system file is not sutiable for running ms-dos and microsoft windows applications"

i mean did i write the program wrong?  ... it is:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){
printf("hello!!!!");
return 0;
}

Add a \n between the ! and the ". Also, compile it with the command:

    dmc test.c

where test.c is the name of the program source file.
