miracle c compiler on xp pro 64

[Guest]

My class uses an old version of miracle C compiler. It loads well but when
executing a program, the cmd pane never appears. When the attempt is made to
run the built program from command line, windows tells you the program is not
built for this machine.

I understand this is a 32 bit program. Is there a way to change the
environment temporarily to do the work needed? Or do I have to hope my old PC
does not crash before the class is up?

Here's the current version..

What, exactly, is the error message that appears? What sort of target have
you built the program to?

It's quite possible for simple command-line programs to run so fast that you
just see the screen flicker rather than seeing the command window.

Thanks Patrick I will have to try the updated version.

In the CMD window the error is: WK4 is not recognized as an internal or
external command, operable program or batch file.

When I looked up this error, I found a thread that stated because the
compiler is old, XP64 does not recognize the source files, library files and
the executable. Once you compile, build and execute the program, you are
suppose to be able to launch it from the CMD window.

I use getch() to hold the window open until I hit the enter key.
