Compiler?
Hi Jamie,
JK>Looking for a C++ compiler that is up to date yet still can compile

JK>for DOS.
Watcom does raw DOS, 32-bit DOS, Win16, Win32, OS/2 (16-bit and 32-bit) and
QNX, all in the same box.
JK>I also run Win95 (sigh) so if it requires 95 thats ok, as 
JK>long as it can compiler stand alone DOS stuff.
The IDE is a GUI, so you need Windows ?? or OS/2 for easy use. There is a
command-line compiler with a text-mode maker if you want to be
fundamentalist about DOS.
JK>Plese let me know of any suggestions as I would like to 
JK>pick up a compiler shortly.
Well, I have various Borland compilers, and Watcom blitzes them all for
quality of object code. The only thing is, you have to write the code
yourself; there is no draggy-droppy builder.
Regards
Dave
