[comp.lang.c++] PC alternatives

burtle@cs.odu.edu (William J Burtle) (04/20/91)

Is there a C++ compiler for the IBM PC other than Borland's?
I would really like to see a "shareware" version-- perhaps
there is one on an FTP site?

There is DJ's GNU C++ (which also have GNU C and GNU ASM). It is real 32-bit
C++ compiler and it is free (GNU CopyLefted). Only catch is, you need to have
386 (and 387 if you use floating point numbers). Some version was posted on
comp.binaries.ibm.pc, but newest version is on grape.ecs.clarkson.edu
(128.153.28.129) at directory pub/msdos/djgcc.

While not free at all, but there also is Zortech's c++  and I believe
that JPI has a c++ coming out soon.
