Compile

I haven't made any computer-related posts lately, probably because everything on my main machine is running fine and the laptop is running well now that I gave Mandrake 10.1 the boot and went back to 9.2. Heck, even KDE hasn't locked up on me in almost a week. I still haven't upgraded anything my Arch Linux box. I'll probably do all that after I am done with school. I'll be done with exams by May 11 and the all grades will be submitted within a few days after that. I already have 19 students registered for my Summer I class which runs from May 23 through July 5.

Thanks to a student, I did find a free C/C++ compiler that works under Windows, (see bloodshed.net), not that need one all the time but I do need one for the last few lessons of the class I'm teaching now. The reason I need to use Windows is that we are using the Microsoft Assembler (MASM) and we are doing inline code and modules (basically, connecting assembly with C++) so I need the MASM. Otherwise, I would just use GCC. Sometimes it's so hard to find the tools under Windows that you're used to having under Linux.
