Yep ... or consider Cygwin and get a powerful unix command-line while you're at it.

Try openwatcom.com. They have free C, C++, Fortran compilers in one package.

Visual C++ 2005 Beta ?

The microsoft compiler is free.

we use cygwin for classes here at Auburn University, but lately it's been crapping out for me and a bunch of my friends. I tried to download for reinstall, and I tried about 8 mirrors, and every one of them cambe back with a corrupted install file. Any ideas why this wouldn't work

I could swear I just read an article somewhere about the ".net framework" having an "undocumented" command-line based c++ compiler (or maybe it was just c, or c-sharp).
Tossed out my magazines yesterday... so can't remember which one had the article.

I think it is "cl.exe".... google it.... i'm too lazy

I believe the sdk needs to be downloaded to have the c++ compiler.

Correct, the SDK includes a file called csc.exe located in Program Files\Microsoft .NET SDK. I belive that's the directory, but I may be wrong. I'm doing this from memory.

Cool, and you can get the source code for it. It's written in Delphi 6.

I have several installed on my system at the moment...

Borland C++ 5.5
Open Watcom 1.2
MinGW 3.2.3
Visual C++ 2003

Take your pick.
