OK, I will look on this forum for help, thanks.

I am an experienced mainframe COBOL programmer who is in school
learning to switch fields for the second half of my career.

I don't have much money, I have Borland C++ Pro 3.5.  I can get
Visual C++ at a student rate.  I would prefer a compiler which I
can use to create OS/2 apps, but not as much as I would prefer one
which gets me a job.  I have taken C courses, am currently taking
object methodology and will be taking C++ courses this spring
unless I get a job which will be requiring too many hours at that
time.  (I am working on my masters).

Contract jobs can pay well and give me time to go to school - but
they can use lots of time and they can run out (as my last one
did).

I think I would like a compiler which supports HP's Standard 
Template Library.

The only C++ compiler I see mentioned by name in the want ads is 
Microsoft's.  I currently boot to a Windows 95 partition to run 
Visual Basic.
