microsoft visual c++

[coffeecup]

I have a simple c application development project. It<br>
involves reformatting a binary file at the "16 bit word"<br>
level. I was encouraged to use Microsoft Visual c++<br>
(I believe it is version 5.x) and am having some problems<br>
getting used to the environment set up.<br>
P.S. I'm developing on a secure system so we can't<br>
have direct access fron this site(on a MAC) to my development site.<br>
<br>
I have just started(barebones) a project directory<br>
and believe I'm supposed to select a project type;<br>
What type is best to select for this simple<br>
application?<br>
What files should be in what directory when setup<br>
is done?<br>
<br>
Any help on the above would be most appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks from "COFFEECUP"<br>

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