IDE = Interactive Development Environment. It's a full Windows app. You edit, compile, link, debug, execute, all in the a single app. And you don't have to type commands, you click BUILD, and it does everything.

Make sure your 'path' is setup correctly, that may be why it can't find 'tcc'.
You can get a command prompt/console by doing start -> run "cmd" or "command" (depending on what version of windows you have).
Then you can use cd (change directory) to get to the same directory as the compiler:
> cd c:\where\you\installed\tcc
> tcc sample.c -o sample.exe (I'm just guessing with the parameters to tcc)

Or:
> cd c:\where\my\source\code\is (maybe c:\windows\desktop)
> c:\where\you\installed\tcc.exe sample.c -o sample.exe
> sample.exe (run the program)
(funky stuff gets displayed here)

Visual basic and C are two different languages.
I don't think anyone is going to get ctm source.
Please don't double post if both posts were within a few hours of each other (use the edit button).
