Reply:You'll need to specify what operating system you're using and what you mean by 'address'. We also need to know whether the program is compiled or just source code.





EDIT: The compilation should (according to my understanding) output an executable file which will run like any other program (assuming it's named .exe). It will depend a bit on what compiler you're using though I think.


What happens now when you try to run the program? Make sure you're not having this problem: http://www.gidforums.com/t-4431.html
