i recently downloaded the free borland C++ compiler and much to my dismay it needs to be run in a DOS environment, i have absolutely no clue how to do this on XP, if anyone out there knows what im talking about any help would be greatly appriciated

To start a DOS prompt go to start>run and type command.com, then return. In order to get the Borland compiler to work, you will have to add the location of the compiler executable to your startup path. To do this, press windows key+e to open explorer. Right click on 'my computer' in the list on the far left of the screen. Goto properties>advanced>environment variables. Find 'path' in the lower window, then press edit. Add a semicolon to the end of the existing list, then type the path to the 'bin' subdirectory of your main Borland directory e.g. c:\Borland\bin\ You will also need to create two extra configuration files in this bin directory. Details of these should be in the help file that comes with the compiler. With Borland, remember to name your source files *.cpp, else the compiler will not work. To compile something, open the dos prompt, go to the directory of the source file (use chdir or cd) and type bcc32 filename.cpp

i want to download it...any site recomended?
