I Wonder how ford FB even work, by sth like fbc -<param> ProgramName
<param> <Command> <Command> <Command> <param> to command line?

How ddoes this work in windows, what do i need to run? (not fbc, i think :|)

In Windows 9x/Me, Start->Run-> "command"
In Windows NT/2k/XP, Start->Run-> "cmd"

Then make sure 'fbc.exe' is in your PATH environment variable (try 'echo %PATH%, and if it's not there, use 'set PATH=C:\path-to-fbc\;%PATH%').

Then you can execute the FreeBASIC compiler by typing something like you said earlier. For example, in the FreeBASIC/examples directory, type 'fbc hello.bas', which produces 'hello.exe' in the same directory.
