Today I will review some free compilers.
1) First we have Borland Turbo C 2.01 that you can google. It only requires that you put Borland's copyright message up in all your program you use unless you have copyrighted officially your own through the copyright office. However it does not come with instructions. It is meant to compiler DOS games and also a limiting OS up to 32bit Windows XP. Anything pass XP will show an error message. You can find rare instruction books (User Guide and Programmer's Guide) on eBay from time to time!
2) Borland C++ 5.5 is for pure Windows joy. However combined with the above (1) you have from DOS to Windows 10!!! I have tested this to work on the hardest OS there is: Vista. However it is also for free. The only drawback is that it lacks an icon and cursor maker and compiler. I tried to the best of my abilities however unless you have the PRO 5.5 you have to deal with the default Windows icon and Windows arrow point to be the cursor!!!
That's it. Now make your choice poor people: DOS is Borland Turbo C 2.01 while Windows is Borland C++ 5.5. Maybe you are the bless few who make $20 million dollars from programming all your life on a freebie compiler or two? I know God works in mysterious ways to show God is more powerful than any man or woman made substance on earth or below the earth#
