- Hi,
-
- This must be a FAQ, but I don't know the FGA (Frequently Given Answer :-).
-
- What's the best C compiler for a 386 with 5Mb?
- - Turbo C 2.0
- - Borland/Turbo C++ 3.0
- - Borland/Turbo C 3.1
- - Watcom C 9.0
- - Zortech C++ 3.04
- - Zortech C
-
- I am used to Turbo Pascal (5.5), so I am slightly biased towards Borland
- since I already know its user interface. But I've heard it's HUGE (>30Mb).
- Furthermore, I don't think I am going to use C++ (at least, not yet), just
- plain C. But if you think I should, let me know as well...
-
- Furthermore, what's the main diff between 'Borland' stuff and 'Turbo' stuff?
-
- Thank in advance,
- Marcel.
