1) i doubt it, but can i import c code into bmax? if not, how can i get this code (once ive managed to compile it- something ive never done before...) usable in Bmax. I assume its going to turn out a DLL.... Either way, how do i access the functions from the code?

1) Yes! It's not hard either. Check out 'advanced topics' in the bmax language reference for an example.

mingw .. that's what you need to download and install. Add the bin directory of mingw to your path and you will be all set.

Pah.. i thought you didnt need that :S well, il go get. I suspect all this C stuff is me aiming too high though!

"You don't need it unless compiling modules." Or any C code in general ;] Remember to follow Mark's instructions in his top post of the win32/linux beta download thread, for setting up the environment variables!
