Hi Henry,
[Off Topic]
Yes, I too looked code::blocks initially which does look clean and sort of in line with the I do stuff in Linux (ubuntu), but I decided in the end to go with Eclipse after much perusing.
Eclipse appears to be very well supported, not saying that code::blocks isn't, just that I needed to decide and that was my decision at the end of the long day.
I am one to support open source, so no commercial software. I like to support developers of open source where and when I am able.
I don't know what IAR is, maybe you could start another thread on IDE's and provide some information and links for folks to look at.
Yes, I too organise my files as .h for the headers and use .cpp for the source.
I'm not a native C/C++ programmer, speak to me in assembler or PLC code, so Arduino has been a wonderful and fun learning arena for me thus far, and using Eclipse does just take it to the next level in my opinion.

I guessing this thread should now be closed?
