I am trying to get my compiler to work for any code but all it says is error
level 1 or something like that.  I know that this code works.  I think that I
have set up my directory right.  I have adjusted the sc file.  The code that I
have mainly been trying is:

#include <stdio.h> 
void main()
{
printf("Hello World From About\n");
}

I got it from about.com's tutorial and i know that it is the most basic, most
commonly used code other than "From About".  I am using windows xp if that
helps.

Try from a command prompt:

Heck, your lucky Walter is a nice guy and didn't have strict ANSI C++ 
checking on for your program ;)

Your program shouldn't even compile, since according to ANSI specs, 
main() is supposed to return an int, not void.
