 So sayeth the Book of Lambourne, "Good C++ Compiler."
 BL> I would like to know what your recommendations of a good compiler are?
 That depends.  Do you mean just a compiler or an IDE?  There's also a 
 number of things that determine "good".  If fast is your goal, Borland 
 has the fastest compilers for the PC.  Microsoft has huge company 
 backing, market dominance, and almost guaranteed company survival, but
 unless you're willing to upgrade to the most current version every time
 one is released,
 
 I've tried Borland 5.x, MS 1.5x, MS 4.x, and Symantec.  Of those I 
 personally prefer MS 4.x, however I am eagerly awaiting Borland's C++ 
 Builder to arrive at work so I can use it.  I was at this year's Borcon
 & played with it there & was impressed.  If I only knew VCL as well as 
 I know MFC  :)
