@Dabz, thanks, I'd decided to just do a bit of C in Windows for the time being (my Linux is in VMWare...), tried my copy of VS 05 but didn't even get as far as changing the default new source file from .cpp to .c, it had problems opening up.
@grey, I'm impressed, when I was 12 I got as far as basic on the Speccy - looked quickly at assembler but quickly lost interest. made up for it later though, a few years back managed to program my first PIC with assembly, pulses in the order of microsecs. The goal was to develop a transponder system - hasn't happened yet!
