Will A C++ Compiler Read A Program Written In C Programming?
Will I Have To Get A C Compiler? Thanks!

Though C++ is nearly a superset of C (i.e. most valid C is valid C++), almost all C++ compilers can be set to a mode that compiles C perfectly. For example, DevKit Advance is a GCC distribution, and GCC is a C++ compiler. Trigger GCC's C mode by ending the source code filename in .c (lowercase; .C and .cpp trigger C++ mode).

Thanks! I tried to install my C++ Compiler but the book tells me I need to get to the DOS prompt screen. I can't get it to work. When I searched for DOS on the start menu it gave me a .txt file about DOS Box and how Windows 2000 and XP don't support it. What should I do? Thanks again!

If you only need the Dos prompt screen :
* Menu "Start --> Run"
* Type in "Cmd"
If your compiler need to run in Dos mode, then you won't be able to use it with Win2000, Xp.
Why don't you use the C++ compiler that come along DevKitAdv?
