Do the 'CHECK' and '2D' programs work when you compile them? In other
words, is the problem with all programs, or just the programs you are
working on. If the samples work, but your programs don't, we need to
help you figure out what you're doing wrong. If the samples don't work
either, we need to help you get your system setup correctly.

That's a step in the right direction :^)

As I recall, you must modify GNU C programs before they will work with
CodeWarrior. Have you tried using GNU C to see if things work?

Hang in there, we'll get you going.
