Hi netter, I am about to purchase a C++ compiler for my 286 DOS computer. I had decided to buy BC++, but I saw an add for the JPI Topspeed C++ compiler. They claim it is very fast in both compilation and execution time. The add also said "support for Windows 3.0 and OS/2". Does anybody have expericne with this compiler, and if yes, to what degree does it support development for Windows 3.0. Kind regards, Jakob Skipper, skipper@diku.dk

I have no experience with their c++ but I do have experience with their C. I got a program that checks if a TSR program is installed or not by copying a block of data which is a predefined string of char into a var in this program then the program compares it with a signature string to determine the presences of the TSR. This program which is only about 20 lines long, works fine when compiled with TurboC v2. But I recompiled with TSC, with necessary changes of course, the movedata function does nothing except looking at me from the screen. I tried to use other functions in the same group( movmem etc) and none of them seems to do the job. They work fine if I tried to copy from one array to another as suggested in their manual. So I am not sure if this is a bug or not. So you really have to check with them or somebody with experience with TSC++ before making a decision.
