hacking into the c compiler?

[madscijr]

@madscijr - I don't really know what you want.

For Windows: To use GCC for Windows - WinGW: MinGW - GCC for Windows

Unzip to a folder, move to C:\D:\E:\ or something like that in "Program Files". Then adjust the path so that you can call the compiler from any directory - done.

For C & Co. use Notepad++: Notepad++

Thanks for your reply, I'll give that page a look. 
As for what I'm looking for, no problem, I think between you and the other answers, I have enough to go on for right now!
