Hi.

I am looking for a good C compiler, among the mainstream ones : Quick C,
Turbo C or Turbo C ++. Can anyone advise me on which to buy, or direct
me to benchmarks.

I want to use C to write small file manipulation utilities (stripping/changing control codes...), and for educational purposes. I know that C++ has objects,  
and I have a vague idea of what objects are. Is it worth the extra cost, the
few bugs, and the slower performance of TC++ compared to TC 2.0 ?

Do these compiler come with good libraries ? to what extent is TC++ compatible
with TC 2.0 ? Is anyone better for Windows programming ?

Thanks for your help
