- I'm really reluctant to open up this can of worms as there are about a
- dozen threads with the same topic 'What is the Best C\C++ Compiler?'. Or
- better 'What is the Best C\C++ Compiler for me?'.
-
- I'm looking for some advise on Symatec C++, Microsoft Visual C++, and
- Borland C++. What I'm really looking for is possible location on the
- Internet or in magazines that rate these products.
-
- I haven't coded in C++ that much and haven't touched C for 2 years but was
- a very capable C programmer. I want something that is fairly standard in
- that it uses a majority of the C++ language and that if I go from my
- compiler to another the transfer would be fairly easy. I am also
- interested in a compiler that is used fairly universally for PC apps. What
- is used to compile the code for Novell, Netscape, Microsoft, IBM, Lotus,
- and other PC software vendors.
-
- I have a Pentium 90 with 16 MB Ram, a 1GB hard drive, 4X CD Rom, Diamond
- Stealth 64 Video card, 17" monitor and a host of other things. I am
- presently running Win 3.11 but if the only thing between me and the
- compiler I think the best for me is Win95, I will get Win95.

- Thank you much in advance,
- 'Prof'
