hi fellow NL programmers,

there anybody 'ere who has used the freeware Miracle C Compiler b4?
i just got hold of it but i get probs when tryin 2 run my programme , don't get 2 see the output 'cos the screen just comes & goes in a flash! can anybody in 'ere help me out?

Why use Miracle C . I know some books say use it . Thou I would prefer if you used VS or Bore land hehe or Dev C++ compiler .

but your problem can be solved like this

#inlcude<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

int main()
{

         printf( "Hello Nairaland!!!" );
         getch();  /* this waits for the key press */

}

#inlcude<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

int main()
{

         printf( "Hello Nairaland!!!" );
         system( "pause" );/* this is a DOS command that pauses till you hit any button .
                                            System () function Executes the dos Command You can slo put Dir e.g system("dir"; to see the directory. */

}

Here is how you can get Miracle C to work (at least it worked for me)

In "C:\Windows" find the _DEFAULT file.
Right click and go to properties.
select the "program" tab.
Uncheck the "close on exit" box.
