With some difficulty and little understanding, I have set up my old machine as a Linux box (RedHat5.2), installed egcs and managed to compile and run my program. Using Emacs I can edit and compile, but is there a free IDE to go with egcs/gnu C, like RHIDE for Windows or (ever hopeful) something akin to MSVC++ ? My experience with Linux (and I do want to like it) has taught me that whatever the failings of W98, it has many advantages for a non-computer-science-person who just wants to easily install a compiler, complete with development environment, and get on with writing a chess program. I find that difficult enough without first having to understand the ins-and-outs of how the OS works - just so I can make my sound card beep :-) Frank
