Hi i'm looking for a free C++ compiler that I can take to school so i can work on C++ there (we do Delphi at school...lame). Anyone who can give me a link to a good compiler will be appreciated. I just remembered, I actually found one that i cant download at home(64Mb, 56K :( ), its called openwatcom, is this any good? Check out this link and tell me which file to download if it is good, just so I can be sure I get the right one(my dad has broadband at work) Athlon XP 1800+ 512Mb DDR266 RAM Leadtek Geforce 6800 Thermaltake 360W PSU 56X CD-ROM 52x24x52 Samsung CD-RW 20 GB Maxtor HDD 80 GB Hitachi HDD Gigabyte GA-7DX+ mobo

Hi, I guess by 'portable' you mean it'll fit on a CD. I'm DLing it now. You might look at: http://bdn.borland.com/museum/ Here's fre Turbo C++ [less tahn 3MB] http://bdn.borland.com/article/images/21751/tcpp101.zip HTH M2

livingdecay, openwatcom is the now open form of the Watcom compiler. Watcom was a big deal (at least back about 5-10 years ago) before Microsoft compilers really took off with MSVC 6. In my opinion, it's still a great compiler, you can get it to work with most things today (even DirectX if you mess with it a little), and you can't beat the price. It's a professional tool built by professionals, so you can't go wrong by at least checking it out. You would download open-watcom-win32-1.3.exe from the link you gave in your post. Hope this helps, Best wishes in your programming, Stephen "Live long and program......or at least do _something_ with all that time....."

I'm busy DLing TC++ 1.01 now, I'll be trying it soon. Thanks. Athlon XP 1800+ 512Mb DDR266 RAM Leadtek Geforce 6800 Thermaltake 360W PSU 56X CD-ROM 52x24x52 Samsung CD-RW 20 GB Maxtor HDD 80 GB Hitachi HDD Gigabyte GA-7DX+ mobo
