Hi, I'm totally blind. I do most of my programming in BASIC, but I use C++ now and then, actually, for drawing fractals. I code graphics. I've been using Dev-C++ because it's the only thing I can find compatible with my screen reader. I don't like how I can't set up a char array bigger than 1400 by 1400 as I might want to make a fractal bigger than that. I have the computer fill an array with the fractal data for colors, and then it writes a bitmap file with the data and I can access that through BASIC or just show it to a friend. All Dev-C lets me do for array size is 1400 by 1400 in an array, and that's using chars. I'd use Booleans, but I need to include color data for each pixel. I wonder if GCC would be better with that. I also need to knowk, please, how and where to download GCC, the latest version. I'm not finding info on that. In addition, when I run the dev-c++ programs from bASIC, a window comes up on the screen saying so. Is there a way, in GCC, to prevent that?
Thanks, Ray McAllister.
