Hi all, I hope I'm posting in the right place.  I'm having trouble creating the
exe file for a guess the number console program.  I created the file using
Microsoft Visual C++, but for a school project, I need to learn how to compile
the program using the free Digital Mars C/C++ console compiler.  I've never used
a console compiler for C++ before.  I've attached a copy of the source code.
The error I get is along the lines that iostream.h can not be found.  I probably
have the compiler files stored in the wrong directory or haven't specified the
right options for the dmc.exe file.  I unzipped all the files into C:\dm\bin\
and my source file is located in the same directory.  In addition to iostream.h,
I'm also needing to include stdlib.h and time.h.
Thanks in advance for your help :)  If possible, please send e-mail to
MattTram aol.com with response.

Thanks,
Matt

Simple. Just type

 dmc number.cpp

In order for this to work, you'll need to have the following environment
variables defined:

INCLUDE
LIB

I'm including a command file (.cmd for NT/2000/XP, rename to .bat if you;re
on 95/98/ME) that I use to set this all up for me.

1. If you have installed DMC++ to a drive other than C:, then you should
define an environment variable for COMP_DRV, e.g.

 set COMP_DRV=G:

2. If you work on another drive than C:, then you should define an
environment variable WORK_DRV, e.g.

 set WORK_DRV=H:

3. You should edit the definition of COMP_DIR to match your installation
directory, eg. if you have installed to c:\dm, then change the line

 set COMP_DIR=%COMP_DRV%\PROGRAMS\DM\DM830\DM

to

 set COMP_DIR=%COMP_DRV%\DM

or simply to

set COMP_DIR=C:\DM (in which case forget step 1 above)

Once you have the include and lib environment variables set, you should be
fine.
