I have received my SDK cd and bought C++6. Started to make the first demo program "Helloworld" and I am having nightmares. When I type in "abld makefile vc6", all I get is "bad command or file name". Can anyone help me please before I take up smoking again?

You should read the docs more thoroughly - before calling abld you need to run bldmake bldfiles so that abld.bat is generated. In other words, RTFM User posted image

I did RTFM thanks. It said "bldmake bldfiles" and it did indeed go and make the "make" files in the relevant build folders. The abld.bat file is present as well. I have tried adding as many directories to the path as I can. I even uninstalled everything and reinstalled it all again. I have written in C before so the vc++ 6 is not a problem for me. I even went to college to brush up on it. The docs just dont say what to do when things dont work... Thanks for your reply by the way.
