PUTTY isn't a UNIX the same way a TV isn't channel 3. Don't mistake the picture for the computer. PUTTY is a terminal emulator used to communicate with other systems over the internet, many of them UNIX systems, some of them not.

If you don't know what your system is, try running 'uname'.

Put the 'chatlib.h' file in the same folder as your .c files on the server. Your program will be able to find it with #include that way.

gcc -o outputfile sourcefile.c -L. -lchat -lsocket -lnsl
This is what you need to do in order to turn the code sourcefile.c into the program outputfile. Once you've compiled it this way, you can run it with ./outputfile

As for how to copy it into your folder, depends on how they have it set up. They probably have given you instructions on how to do so. FTP or SCP may be involved.

Worst case, you can run this in the putty window:

Code:
cat <<EOF > chatlib.h
paste the contents of chatlib.h into the window here
EOF

which will create chatlib.h with the pasted contents.

Name
       next - show the next message

Syntax
       next [ +foldername ] [ -[no]header ] [ -help ] [ -showproc program ] [ -noshowproc ] [ options to ]

Description
       The  command  displays  the  next message in the current folder.  The next message is the one after the current message in the folder.  The
       message that is shown becomes the current message.

       If you name a folder using the +folder argument, displays the next message in the folder you specify.   That  folder  becomes  the  current
       folder.

Options
       -header
       -noheader Displays  a  one-line	header before the message.  The header consists of the name of the folder and the message number.  This is
		 the default behavior.	It can be suppressed with the -noheader option.

       -help	 Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

       -showproc program [ options ]
       -noshowproc
		 Specifies an alternative program to list messages.  The default is to use the program defined by the showproc: entry in the file.
		 As with you can give options to the program at the command line.  These are passed directly to by

       The defaults for this command are:

	      +folder defaults to the current folder
	      -header

Restrictions
       The  command  is  really  a  link  to  the program.  As a result, if you make a link to and that link is not called your link will act like
       instead.  To avoid this, add a profile-entry for the link to your and add the argument to the entry.

Profile Components
       Path:	   To determine the user's Mail directory
       showproc:   Program to show the message

Files
       The user profile.
