Get out your magnifying glass and old DOS system.

This is a review of the Sixth Edition. The book starts straightforwardly. It does a fair job of instructing on how to install the CD. It assumes you already know what product “code: block” yet it helps you load and execute it. I got as far as the build, and it said it did (however, I could not find the file). Then the run command said that first, you have to build it. Now the loop begins. I suspect the problem is that even though Vista-64 has been out for a year and this is supposed to be a 2009 version, the GCC or the compiler options, such as the IBM c/c++ “-q64,” that are not discussed in this book are not geared for a 64-bit operating system. Long story short, the CD is useless. Now there is also very little chance of getting hold of anyone from the Dummies publishers or the Author to get this corrected. The codeblock.org does not show that they have a version that works on Vista 64-bit, but their list is of compilers, not operating systems.
