This either goes in here or Gen. Gaming so I apologise if this don't belong here. But here goes. Does ANYONE here know where to find a free C/C++ program? Or am I gonna have to pony up? Thanks.

Free I don't really know any from personal experience. I do know microsoft has a 1 year trial for thier C++ 2005 express edition.

However, free this is what I have come up with. There may be more and/or better and I have no personal experience with it. Give it a try if you want.

I have no experience with either. I have just been using the Microsoft Express Editions for my college classes since that is what the class assumes you are using(no teacher support if any other compilier doesn't do what the book says it should do).

GCC is free, but in fact, MS offers a free C++ compiler.

As ShunNakamura pointed out, go to www.bloodshed.net download their C++ Compiler (Dev C++). It uses MingW to strive for system portability and is fairly easy to use, and find a lot of online help for it as well. It what I use when I aint using GCC, and I can definatley say it has matured into a sweet compilation suite.

Dev-C++ is prettymuch the best you can get.
