Subj : C++ question from a NooB To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : "Nelsons1" Date : Sun Jul 06 2003 02:02 pm I'm very new to using C++. Just started a few days ago on my own. I've downloaded the free compiler bcc55. I ran my first program "hello world". #include int main() { std::cout << "Hello world!\n"; return 0; } The program seems to work but only in a dos window. Is this right? How do I make a windows screen open up and display "hello world"? Sorry but i'm a total NooB Thanks guys .
