What is the exe for Turbo C++ (TC.exe or something like that)? I haven't used it so I'm a little lost.

Have you tried Borland's newer compiler (BC 5.5)? It's free but it won't do 16 bit programs, just 32 bit. See

http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.html.

There is also a free debugger, too. Note, this is just the compiler, no IDE.

The compiler is called BCC32.EXE. (Borland C++ Complier for 32 bit Windows.) Make sure your Borland's bin directory is on your path. Then with your favorite editor, enter the following:

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
        cout << &quot;Hi, World&quot; << endl;
        return 0;
}

Save this code as hi.cpp. Then at the command line (DOS prompt), type

bcc32 hi

. You should see something like

Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland
hi.cpp:
Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland

When you run hi you should get your reply. James P. Cottingham

You can get a good IDE at objectcentral.com. I don't care for the V extensions, but the Vide for bcc32 is really good, and FREE.
