The subject line really says it all. I am an engineering student with a moderate amount of computer experience, and would like to do some hacking in C, C++ but am unsure of the direction to go. I know I am being kind of vague, but I am interested in anyone's $0.02. Send e-mail or post if you think it might be of general interest or if you would like to generate some discussion of your own. System configuration: 16mhz 386sx clone, VGA with a soon-to-be-upgraded 30meg HD, and 5meg of ram. I run plain dos ~20% of the time and Windows 3.0 the rest of the time, but my aspirations are not so lofty as to think I could be a proficient Windows programmer in my lifetime. Thanks for any help. -- 731 Moro popeye@matt.ksu.ksu.edu " Vapid? " Manhattan, KS 66502 popeye@ksuvm.ksu.edu (913)537-3666 kxb@phobos.cis.ksu.edu

I'd recommend it to you. Remember, C++ is a superset of ANSI C. Turbo compiles everything with a ".C" extension into ANSI/K&R/some others C, and everything with a ".CPP" extension into C++. With the discounts on Turbo C++ right now, it's a really good deal. <Using a freidsn account> Sean
