It was given away on a cover disk. Going back through past threads it looks like it was only in the UK, and iirc, it also gets shipped with Builder though that may be professional versions and greater. > I noticed that Borland has v5.5 of their C++ Builder online for > download, as well as a trial version of the v6 C++ Builder, but these > seem like WAY overkill for the small stuff we're doing in school. Third-party IDE's are freely available for the 5.5 command line compiler. A console based debugger can also be downloaded from borland. Turbo C++ 4.5 is too old for serious learning. It's up to you to decide. Doesn't matter a great deal if it's only an introductory or appreciation course. Otherwise, get something up to date... Your free windows options are in the faq: mingw, cygwin and v.5.5 mentioned above. -- Guy Harrison
