JM>Hi!  I'm a semi-experienced Turbo Pascal 7.0 programer...  But I found

JM>to
JM>try out C++...  So I said, well...  can't be that hard (Later to find

JM>different ).  Seems to compile alot slower, but it's a fair tradeoff

JM>the advantages...  Anyways, my question is this : I've been told
JM>opposing
JM>stories about which compiler to use...  Currently I'm using Turbo C++
JM>v3.00.
JM>Is this an Ok compiler to start with?  Or should I be using something

JM>Any help with this would be greatly appriciated...  And Long Live C ;)
Get Borland C++ v5.0, it's good to start off with and to keep using it, 
however, if your after speedy executables use either
1) Watcom
2) DJGPP
3) MSVC++
... DOS=HIGH? I knew it was on something...
