hi, first time, so anyone able to like explain this a bit more?
(it's the readme for installation):

Too make it even more convenient, add

	c:\dm\bin

to the PATH environment variable setting (c: is the drive it is
installed on).

To compile a simple hello.c program:

	\dm\bin\dmc hello

will compile and link to create hello.exe.


am i supposed to write "\dm\bin\dmc hello" somewhere?
place "hello" somewhere? why's there a space between "dmc"
and "hello"?..

alright, bye

Yes, open a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd <enter>)
The rest of the commands are entered on the command line
that appear.
change the active folder to the folder in which you
have put hello.c:
cd "\myprograms\testing"

Then type:
\dm\bin\dmc hello
With a bit of luck you now have a hello.exe program in the
same folder, run in by running the command:
hello

 place "hello" somewhere? why's there a space between "dmc"
 and "hello"?..


\dm\bin is the path to the compiler, dmc is the name of the
compiler. hello is the name of your source code (the .c file)

very cool, bro, next step is to figure out how to edit these .c
files. i've opened them in text documents (.cpp ones at least) and
all these squares popped up. i'm guessing the textedit prog. won't
recognize what are probably symbols. any ideas how to make /edit
them is a bonus. k, bye

You can edit the .c and .cpp files in notepad, they are ordinary
text files.

But you might want to try out an editor designed for
programming, see:
