I absolutely agree with David: Turbo C/C++ is an excellent value and with the educational discounts it should not be far from the 20$+20$ of Mix C . Of course, this includes the debugger, excellnet manuals, examples, tech support, and the possibility of using the many Turbo/MS libraries that are floating around without changing a line. alex@dt.uh.edu
