Ok
I found this great site, http://www.devnewz.com/2002/0909.html, that shows you how to do it on windows, my os. One huge problem, it says you need microsoft visual c++ 6.0, and I am a newb, so I obviously dont have this. Is there any way to do this without spending money? Thanks

An error message!, what is this error message and are you sure you have selected the appopiate package? Also, why do you require a C++ compiler, is it really necessary for this project?

when i ruin the devcpp4990setup.exe file, i get a message that says

The HTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:numbers IP:numbers OP:numbers. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

The site I mentioned said to open up the microsoft visual c++ 6.0 compiler to create extensions. If anyone knows any other method for installing extensions on a windows 2000 server os, please help

There is a possibility you could use perl for that! Also, their is loads of other free C++ compilers out there :D

Ok, I got the visual c++ compiler, and I am trying to follow the directions on the page i sent earlier, but the page is talking about going into all of these menues. feyd, is there any way you can describe to me how to use the command line compiler to create extensions?

all the menu things are just setting command line options.. so you just need to look through the documentation to match up which option in the menus goes with the right command line options.. there are a lot, but once you have it set up, you can stick it inside a batch file so it's a lot easier to create/build your extensions.
