microsoft visual c++

microsoft visual c++

microsoft visual c++

(OP)
I have a simple c application development project. It
involves reformatting a binary file at the "16 bit word"
level. I was encouraged to use Microsoft Visual c++
(I believe it is version 5.x) and am having some problems
getting used to the environment set up.
P.S. I'm developing on a secure system so we can't
have direct access fron this site(on a MAC) to my development site.

I have just started(barebones) a project directory
and believe I'm supposed to select a project type;
What type is best to select for this simple
application?
What files should be in what directory when setup
is done?

Any help on the above would be most appreciated.

Thanks from "COFFEECUP"

RE: microsoft visual c++

Select "Console exe" as your project type if it does not require any user interface.
If it does require user interface select "basic application using MFC".
As far as directory structure is concerned Vc++ will take care of that. You just have to include appropriate files in your workspace.
Tell me more about your C project files to give you a appropriate directory structure.
