Re: [Freedos-user] Borland C++ 5.5 compiler freeware?

Many people seem to use the non-free BC++ 3.x, so is this really the BC 5.5 one (without the IDE), or is it just Turbo C or Turbo C++ 5.5? Does it include TASM? Does it compile some typical DOS programs for which Turbo C 2.01 - THE classic - is not good enough? ... It is for Win32 only, both in what it generates and what it runs on. Also availabe is turbo debugger (again for Win32, though its interface is almost the same as the DOS version). With both installed you get (all command line only) compiler (bcc32), resource compiler (brcc32), grep, incremental linker (ilink32, instead of turbo linker tlink), impdef (for generating dll import libraries), make, turbo debugger (td32), tdump (for displaying some info about object/exe files), librarian (tlib), touch, and trigraph. It also includes a c library, platform sdk, help, and examples. No assembler and no IDE. So its kinda like Turbo C for Windows, but uses the Borland compiler names. It does a good job compiling simpler DOS programs under Windows (where more complex ones would require rewriting to use the Win32 API instead of direct access, video, direct DOS calls, etc). I lost a lot of respect for for Borland when they released the 5.0 version (it was very buggy when initially released).

Links many free Pascal / C / Assembler / Basic compilers (assemblers, interpreters...). ... and many low-cost ones.
