Re: [Dev-C++] Run Problem

I only used it because it because it's quick, simple and gets the job done
with only one line of code. In other words I'm lazy. I agree it's not
portable, although it should work with your average Dev-C++ installation. In
most cases portability isn't an issue as I think most people use it only for
test programs.
