I got Borland C++ 4.02 in a C Programming Starter Kit.  It runs in Windows 
95, and cost around $35.  I found this a great alternative to spending lots 
of money on the newest version (5.0 I believe), at least until I get good 
enough.  I just ignored the C Programming book that came with it.  :)   Most 
Software Stores should be able to get it for you (ISBN 0-672-30996-3).

Hope this helps you out, and Happy Coding...
