a question I can't find is how do I make a windows form from scratch in C ?

I've seen it done before but I don't know how to make it work.

None of Windows in supported in C. It is an entirely propitiatory platform.

If you mean you can't remember the WIN32 API function calls then look up either DialogBoxIndirect or CreateWindow (depending on whether you want a dialog box or a window).

gave up on it I'll keep it command prompt I turned josah's helpful prime finder into a perfect number finder I wanted to use a window not command prompt but it's too complicated.( now only if I could get it to limit which ones it printed the equation for to file then I might be golden.
