If you are just learning C++, you can DL the free Borland C++ compiler (www.borland.com) and it will work fine -- you can build win32 software only though. But all (most?) C++ for dummies examples will work.. Or, you can get Linux and use g++. (free as well)... - Adam PS. C++ for Dummies is good book --- IMO, for new programmers the best books are C for Dummies then C++ for Dummies and then either a "real" book from library or More C++ for Dummies and then a "real" book.
