I can understand that - Joe would not be so enthusiastic about it
for no good reason;-)

Still, for my tired head the complexity of getting started in something
so very different is overwhelming so I have to look for a simpleminded
solution.

Yes. And now it is renamed MinGW (it will work on 64 bit computers
so they dropped the 32. Nobody is interested in the 16 it once
distinguisged from....)

It has to be very easy, but the amount of information is too large
and the package can do too many things - and every piece of text
is full of references to things I have no idea what they are.

Essentially I need the command line to make a .exe from this
program:

int main(args)
{
printf("HELLO");
getch();
return 0;
}

That would give me some kind of starting point. Maybe it would
just lead to new questions, but it is something I would like to try.
