Hello, guys!!


Well, I'm newbie in computer programming and I'm looking for the Microsoft C++ compiler for DOS(IDE). Where can I download it?

Please, help me!!!
 
What are you trying to do. Do you need a Dos compiler or a compiler to make windows programs from dos?

Try
It will tell you which ones work on DOS and which ones work on Windows. If you are intending to use extended memory in DOS, Watcom is quite good. Version 11 used to come with a DOS extender. I don't know whether the free one still comes with the DOS extender or not.
 
Boy you are new aren;t you.

if you have MS VC++ 6.0 installed.

Type cl at the dos prompt.

IDE is the user interface for MS VC++.
 
VC6 will only build a 32 bit executable. I suppose it depends on which version of DOS the OP is running. If it is 16-bit DOS, VC6 won't work but VC5 might.
