Then you can go about your business using "normal" functions like scanf() and printf(). To see a pretty simple program that's WinBoard compatible, you can check out TSCP on my homepage: http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~kerrigat >I am planning on using C and not C++.

No, if it's pre-Windows 95, then it won't generate Win32 programs. That's really what you need. VC is a pretty good thing to buy, but there are alternatives, if you don't want to pay that kind of money... -Tom
