I used to be in the same boat as you. It would be a good lesson if you did
learn how to compile this program :)

Good Morning...
er... no! it's not social engineering! it's a program for burning
EEPROMS. i don't know much about the subject, a friend of mine gave it
to me, and asked me to compile it for him (he is not a programmer! he
is interested in EEPROMS, and he got the code from somewhere on the
net).
i couldn't compile it, and i thought that somebody may help here.
anyway, i didn't ask any one to run the program! i only asked for the
compiled version! (the program will not help you anyway). i was
worried about the idea of downloading and installing the compiler,
then discovering that the code is not for DJGPP.
anyway, i think Glenn was right. i should have made it myself from the
beginning.
no problem, my friend actually got desperate, and started looking for
another EEPROM burner that would compile in VC (or one that is readily
compiled!!) :)
no problem, and no offense... :)
thank you very much...

yours...
