Hi Daniel,

I think I can help. gcc is available for Windows also, there is a package called MingW that allows you to write windows C without using any third party DLL's. Take a look at http://www.wemakeitfast.com/fastCM S/pages/altvcc.php - This page describes two options of gcc on windows and also a development IDE and also a windowing class library in the same vein as MFC. They are all GPL and LGPL but read the licenses anyway. There are links to download all of the software from this site.I have used DEVC++ which uses mingW as its compiler successfully for OCI on windows XP - its quite good. Also if you want to spend a little money the VC++ student/learning edition and BCB standard editions are not massively expensive. I have used both to compile Oracle code before.

hope this helps a bit.

kind regards

Pete
