Hi, Vicenzo! In the Cygnus page http://www.cygnus.com/misc/ there's reference to a help page (FAQ) you should consult. Programming MS Windows is a little difficult :-), but you will find some help in the page "Introduction to the Win32 Application Programming Interface", at http://www.microsoft.com/WIN32DEV/APIEXT/INTRO32.HTM Microsoft created this mess, so it should explain it. :-) A complete "Hello Windows" program is at http://www.relisoft.com/win32/winnie.html that contains indications to an almost complete practical Windows programming course. A must read. If we talk about books, Programming Windows 95, by Petzold & Yao, is still the best, as far as i know. Not related to Cygnus Gnu-Win32 -- a. k. a. cygwin --, is the excellent DJGPP FAQ, by Eli Zaretski et al. Maybe you know that DJGPP is -- like cygwin -- another implementation of GCC for the MS world. Actually DJGPP is for MS-DOS, but the FAQ has almost everything you should know to compile a program under GCC -- or a version of it. Please find it somewhere in http://www.delorie.com Follow the (easy to follow) links in this site and you'll get there. :-) Best regards, ++Hilton ------------------- Hilton Fernandes email: hgfernan@usp.br hilton@lsi www: http://www.lsi.usp.br/~hilton.html M.
