i bought me a C++ book and now i need a compiler. i dont know anything about c++ so is there an eviroment complier like QB i can download for free?

For dos: DJGPP http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
For dos and Windows: Open Watcom http://www.openwatcom.com/
For Windows:
Bloodshed Dev C++ http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html (yeah weird name, I know)
LCC-Win32 http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/

If you want something simple you can also try Turbo C++ 1.01 (now freeware, thanks Borland Smile

). It's almost as old as QB, but the IDE is similar. Make sure to save your programs with a .CPP extension before you run them, or the compiler will assume that it's C and you'll get errors up the wazoo.

I cant get tc to start. i did the tour.

interesting list, sterling, i'd forgotten about openwatcom and i've never heard of lcc.

Tell me, are there any good comparison speed tests on these compilers?

(ps. I still like dev-c++. It's just purty).

TC SUCKS. It can't use UGL :'(

is it not real mode? It says nothing in the documentation.

Run TC\BIN\TC.EXE

Code:
build 0.19b

    Added:

        - support for Borland/Turbo C/C++ real-mode compiler (medium memory

          model), including libs (both for release and debug modes), headers

          and some examples (headers are probably compatible with M$-C/QuickC

          and Watcom-C compilers, but calls to non ansi-c functions like

          farmalloc, farfree and farcoreleft are done, that may be a problem

          with other C real-mode DOS compilers than BC).

I don't know of any, sorry. Come to think of it, I'd like to see benchmarks too.

DUDE! turbo c++ rocks! thanks
