subject: which compiler?

-=> Quoting Graeme Geldenhuys to All <=- 

 GG> Can someone help me with the pro's and cons for these compilers:

 GG> EMX

Pros:
  Freeware, with full source code available.
  Internet support mailing list, author is active.

Cons:
  A bit complicated to get all the required files (just finding them all)
  setup.
  No documentation for the Win* or Gpi* API's, that I could find.

 GG> Watcom C++

  Never used it, but I'd like to get it one day.

 GG> Borland C++ for OS/2

Pros:
  Super fast at compiling, works great with 8 megs RAM.
  IDE easy to use and setup.
  Indellible Blue has had it on sale for $99... :-)

Cons:
  Lots of people gripe about bugs, but I'm not enough of a power programmer
  to worry about this, yet and maybe never...
