CSPL help?
I'd like to use CSPL for a little scenario I'm thinking about where America is a dictatorship struggling for control over North America.

However I have no idea how to use the thing, so I may need someone's assistance. Would anyone here be able to make the CSPL events for me? I just want to know now because without CSPL I get the feeling it won't be worth the effort.

Do you have anything resembling a C++ compiler? Microsoft's rather expensive Visual C++ (part of Visual Studio) is the compiler of choice for Wintel machines.

I have Vis. C++ 6.0 starter kit that comes with a compiler that lets you know every time you run the .exe that that .exe is not to be distributed. I'll be able to get my hands on a actual Visual C++ 5.0 compiler I believe.

See I don't know anything about this compiler businesses.

Unfortunately, at the moment there aren't any CSPL experts out there (other than Angelo). On the other hand, as the "editor" of the CSPL manual (and a total C++ ignoramus), I must say it seems fairly straightforward. In Chapter 2, Angelo shows you where to get the free Borland C++ compiler and also provides links to free C++ tutorials. Best of all, the manual is VERY step-by-step, so if your scenario needs CSPL events, why not give it a shot?

St Leo: Be careful, Borland C++ Compiler and Microsoft Visual C++ are not fully compatible.
I started to realize CSPL with VC++ but soon i moved to Borland platform ('cause it's free and i don't want someone has to buy VC++ just to use CSPL).

The problem is the library file, VC++ creates them using COFF format (if i remember well:Common Object File Format, yes, i checked) while Borland use OMF (Object Module Format) so you can't use CSPL library (which was created with Borland) with VC++ programs.
(Well, this is not totally true, you can try to convert CSPL.lib from OMF to COFF using EditBin, a VC++ program, but it's a bit complicate)

Maybe in a future version i'll add both lib versions (COFF and OMF) but for now i suggest you to download the freecompiler from Borland

Eternal: I'm afraid i cannot help you right now, try to battle a bit with the examples, you should be able to understand how things works.
