wine users - Aug 2009 - Error using command prompt

I am using Dev-C++ under WINE and Ubuntu as I am not yet familiar with Ubuntu
enough to study C without a simple compiler I am used to. It installed ok, and
compiled .exe files ok, but when it came to run those programs I had a problem.

The first was that, normally, when I would run an executable written to use the
windows command prompt, the command prompt wouldn't appear. Now, I make sure
to use:

#include "CLOSE.C"

in all my programs which itself is just a few lines of C code that tells the
command prompt to get user input before closing and to give a message to the
user that the program has ended.

So I know it isn't just opening and closing really fast.

So I decided to compile again with debug information and I was able to run the
program. I saw a command prompt appear, and was able to give input. I wrote down
a random number, pressed enter, and then I got an Oops!

I am not really sure what the problem is. I know it will display the command
prompt because it did. But it only displayed it when using debug. And that ended
up showing errors.

Is there some special way a C program needs to be written to work in WINE? Or
are there just problems that WINE has with a command prompt?

Here is a screenshot I took of the error:

I checked to see if maybe there was just a problem in my code. I used a much
higher number as the input, which the program is simply supposed to divide by
52, and this time - using debug - it ran correctly and displayed the correct
information, but then when I used the correct input to allow the command prompt
to close I got the error again.

I also checked to see if I could run the .exe by navigating to it and double
clicking any of my .exe files resulted in no reaction. Not even an error.

doesn't really matter to me if I am compiling in .exe or .deb as long as I
can study) but I couldn't find any in the style I am familiar with.
I recommend Code::Blocks, which is still in development, but surpasses Dev-C++
in functionality as well as offering a similar environment to work in.
