This is now wrong - I've just gained access to a couple of different
compilers, now my question is - are there any 'c' (or other language)
programs out there that I could compile on my PC to make it easier to
run these damned things. Bearing in mind that my 'c' knowledge is
somewhere below the slime at the bottom of the ocean.

This is unfortunate, as I've recently acquired someone elses position in
a currently running game, and it's far from being near the first move.

Once I get into a game from scratch I will be doing this, but as it
stands I'm in at the deep end.
