Well, use ASCII (7-bit) characters only and run unix2dos on the sources before sending/uploading them and the sources should come out as expected. > (Fortunately with the > Visual (not Virtual) C++ IDE this is not an issue.)

That would be MinGW. (Creates Win32 binaries, but Win32 executables run on Win64 too.) http://mirzam.it.vu.nl/mingw/ Sadly, the gcc-core RPM there doesn't include g++ (the C++ compiler), only the C compiler, so get MinGW GCC from there instead: http://bitwalk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/download.html > {^_^} <ob Joanne - does delivering the code to the professor > constitute "distribution" requiring that it be GPL?
