The IDE is a bit shakey. It's also got a few (minor) quirks, and a lot of the packages aren't always up to date. If you have a legal copy of VC6 or higher, don't bother with it unless you really want to use gcc (or is it egcs? I can't remember, either way it's a GNU compiler). If you ever use a debugger in your life (and I *highly* suggest you do) then Bloodshed is not for you. VC's debugger is extraordinary.

If you want something basic, then this program is excellent. Ive used it, though it does have a few minor bugs here and there.

GCC... EGCS (I think it was spelled that way) is an implementation of GCC for Windows. Not a very popular one, oddly... MinGW is probably better.
I haven't used Dev-C++ much, but it's obviously better than Notepad (which I used before), and is also free...

TopWop, don't resurrect threads.
Not like it matters much in this forum anyway...

they've improved a few critical things. Also, I picked up a programming book that recommends it.
