Re: [Dev-C++] Which compiler is best?(AGAIN)

[Kevin W. <ke...@me...>]

I was introduced to Borland C++ Builder when I did an Open University course
last year. A cut-down Version 3 was supplied for the course and it was a
real eye-opener - so much easier than MS VisualC++ but just as powerful. I
am completely converted.

If you imagine Visual Basic combined with the power of C++ ( also, it can
compile Delphi, so you can make use of the huge amount of free code on the
Internet ).

Do not compare it with Dev C++ as they are different animals.

If you are a student you can get the pro version for £69 without docs.

Regards,
        Kevin.
