Hello!  I have decided I would like to buy a ANSI C/C++ compiler
and make this my programming tool of choice for awhile.  I have been
watching the net trying to soak up overall opinion of Turbo C++ and
other C++ compilers.  

What I'd like to know is which one would you recommend if you have
used both (I am considering both Turbo C++, and Zortech C++, but
if there is another with merit out there let me know...)?  If you have
and use only one, let me know what strengths and weaknesses you see
with it.  Also if there is something that makes you totally not want
to use one or the other (i.e. Turbo C++ doesn't support Windows programming).

I am a student so unfortunately price becomes a factor.  What are the
educational discounts I can get?  How do I go about getting these
discounts and what will be the bottom line price? What is the update
policy of the companies?

Are there major bugs that I should know about in either before I
make my choice?  Will they be fixed or do I have to wait for a
new version?  

Thanks for your help.  Reply my email or the net, and I will 
summarize for everyone!

Mike
