Please help! I´m far away from home and need to program... The computer i´m using dosn´t have Visual Studio! I need a free program to code C/C++. Is Borland free? If it is where can I get it and how big is it? I´s only 250 MB free disk space on my computer... Thanks, Zeblar Nagrim, Lord of Chaos

The command line version of Borland is free. You can get it here: http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/cppc55steps.html

It is pretty small since the free version has no IDE.

And if you type in "bcc32" you have a list of options you can use. Look in the help file for more information about each option. For example, you may need -L"D:\BC5.5.1\Lib", -H"D:\BC5.5.1\Include", -O1 (Optimize for size), -O2 (Optimize for speed) and others depending on how you set it up.

Or you could download an IDE for it. Quincy2000 lets you set it up to use BCC relatively easy. Search for it.

I use VIDE for when I use BCC551. It takes a little while to set it up, but it works well once you''re done.
