These are actually more generally questions about how to use 'gcc', which you should be able to get from documentation about 'gcc'. I'd suggest <http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/>. Since these are really general 'gcc' questions, they are really off-topic. However, the question about where the output will occur may be a grey area. ;-) The "console" in Windows is generally the window in which you can type commands. The most well-known program of this kind is the "DOS box", called cmd.exe on NT-based platforms and command.com on 9x-based platforms. The Cygwin shells, bash, ash/sh, tcsh, zsh, etc run in a "DOS box". But Cygwin programs can run in a "DOS box" regardless of whether you're running a Cygwin shell. So the output of "printf" goes to, by default, the "DOS box" that you're running the program from. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
