The GNU compiler here is recommended.

SOME NOTES ON PROGRAMMING IN "C" (CPP or C++)

There is one free C or C++ compiler available with which this program has been tested.

If you have no C nor C++ at all, then you should download the full system

Dev-C++ 5.0 beta 9.2 (4.9.9.2) (9.0 MB) with Mingw/GCC 3.4.2     
Dev-C++ version 4.9.9.2, includes full Mingw compiler system with
GCC 3.4.2 and GDB 5.2.1 See NEWS.txt for changes in this release.
NOTE: These notes do not consider the Microsoft Visual C program
however I may work on that later
This installed on win64 Vista the
same as it did on win32 XP. The
programs worked first time.

Merges Illustrating Shadows and Illustrating More Shadows, deletes duplicated material, and techniques that are
complex and replaced by easier methods, adds new material.

Hands on, empirical, geometric, trigonometric, CAD,  and spreadsheet dial design for small dials plus garden dials using common masonry supplies, clay, and glass,
with emphasis on many calendar line techniques, and inclined decliners, while providing details on the use of DeltaCAD programming including the animation of many
sheets as parameters vary.  Case studies abound with associated problems solved, and cover the infamous inclined decliner, as well as all the other kinds of outdoor
dials.  The printed book comes with a CD of booklets, spreadsheets, VRML/WRL files, templates, etc with the printed book. The CD has all books and booklets and
programs along with source code.
