hello group, 

I have some codes written in C and C++. 

Obviously, I do not understand them as I have never taken C class.  
But, since Mathematica is able to call programs written in other languages, I
thought this may be the way I should use the codes. ( even though I
don't understand the code in C/C++ ...)

The codes were sent to me as a directory tree has 22 h files in a
folder named "Include"

Does this sound like something Mathematica can handle using Mathlink, or do
you need more info to answer that?

Do I need working installations of c/c++ compilers etc etc? 

I have c(got it free from LCC-win32 website), but I don't have c++.

If I do need both compilers, does anyone know of good free c++ install
files for windows? ( maybe with nice gui)

sorry for newbie q. 

any insights will be thoroughly appreciated.
