I am using the Guidelines C++ translator 2.0, Turbo C++ professional 1.00 and
Zortech developers edition 2.17 (beta).

The translator is used to ensure that the code which I am writing is portable
to Unix systems (since it's using the AT&T translator). It is *very* slow and
can not be used in a Windows environment (protected mode).

Turbo C++ is a splendid programming environment to work in. Version
1.00 contains several minor bugs; I wasn't able to get my hands on
1.01 which is supposed to fix several of them.

Zortech C++ has the fastest compiler; I couldn't discover a bug yet in the
2.17 release. It has one *major* disadvantage: it doesn't support AT&T 2.0
iostreams. They say they are working on it, but the last 6 months nothing
exciting has happened :-(.

Since I am working on both PC and Unix systems, the only practical choice
right now is Turbo C++. I think Zortech is currently the better compiler,
but it's a drag I can't use it.
