Well, for me it's confusing due to how I've learned every language in 
the past.  I learned HyperTalk, Transcript, Perl, PHP and ASP by simply 
looking at examples and then trying to make them work.  Then slowly I 
would add in other features until eventually I had a general 
understanding of how the language worked.

My hope was that the same concept would apply with C.  Unfortunately the 
examples within the Revolution Externals SDK would never compile on the 
first try.  I would do what I thought was right, and every time I would 
get nothing but errors.

So I figured maybe it was because I had the wrong compiler, so I 
downloaded as many free compilers (for Windows) and tried them all. 
Then I hopped on a few friends computers who had MS Visual C, Visual C 
.Net and Visual C++ 2005 Express.  They would all fail.

Now, thanks to Alex Tweedly, I have something to go on.  I am 
re-downloading Bloodshed C++ and I will be attempting his walk through. 
  If it works, I will be saving it and will use it in the future to 
setup all future externals.

Alex did exactly what should be inside the SDK, a walk through for 
individuals who are interested in creating Externals but have no idea 
how to do it.  In the end, Alex will be receiving a big thank you.
