Hi Paul,

 WS> I wouldn't have a clue what I need for programming C++ for OS/2
 WS> but I'm willing to learn somehow...

 PH> Just go down to a bookstore and look at the "teach yourself c++
 PH> in 21 days" some of the books are really good.

I've got a HTML version of it... So I'll look into it...

 WS> I have a source code for a BBS package and I need a compiler for
 WS> it... Is there any FREEWARE or SHAREWARE compilers around?

 PH> Try the EMX runtime. Its an OS/2 port of the linux gnu compiler.
 PH> It's free.

OK will do thanks... Your the second person to recommend this so it looks
promising...

 PH> Here's some websites you can check out:

Saved the links...

 PH> Also the EPM editor is a pretty good code writer. Just open a
 PH> source file that start with a C comment.

OK this should get me started then...

Thank you for the information...

Lata,
