- I've heard that the memory requirements for Borland's C++ and Turbo C++
- products are not really as strict as the boxes say. Can anyone tell me if
- this is true?
-
- The reason I ask is that I'm a student taking a class in C++ and we will
- shortly be doing windows programming. I don't want to have to go to the
- labs every time I want to do homework, so I'm about to purchase TC++ 4.5,
- BC++ 4.5 or BC++ 5.0, I don't know which yet. My machine is a 486DX2/50
- with 4 megs ram, running Win95. I don't want to shell out lots of $ for
- memory if I dont absolutely have to. Will any of these products run with 4
- megs? With 8? I don't need to compile very large programs, just typical
- student stuff.
-
- Thanks for your help.
