(...) Wes and Dave, I pulled out an ancient copy of Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS. It compiles most of the code but chokes on the >8 character file names. I might have to try Microsoft VC++ next....to make a DOS executable. I also found a DOS C Comm library (...)

(...) Actually, lots of packages try to deal with filenames intelligently. QT, for example, has normal C++ NamingConventions, but uses lowercaseonly file names. I try to do the same.

I hate to admit it, but the version of Turbo C++ I just pulled out is 1.00. I departed from the Borland compiler shortly after acquiring this version and did not keep up with advances. Would I gain any advantages by finding a later version, or (...) (26 years ago, 31-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
