- I am looking to buy a good beginner C compiler, one that must be able to
- operate on a 286.
-
- Here at the university they offer borland c/c++ 3.0 for dos for 40$.
-
- My question is...is this a good starting compiler, will it surfice once I
- progress in skill and in computer availability?
- The box says the minimum requirements is a 286....
-
- and to run the programers platform it requires 1-2M extended ram.
-
- I have a 286 w/ 1M ram (can't find memory expanders :)).
- Will this compiler run sufficiently enough for me in command line mode? For
- right now?
-
- Thank you...
- Ryan
