Alternative 2 Turbo C++

there are some free c++ compilers, but what i know that Bloodshed Dev C++ is best free c++ compiler

For Linux you just need an editor. Type your programs (most editors already have syntax highlight built into them) and compile using the gcc <filename>.c -o <out-filename> command.

For Windows either use VC++ Express 2005/2008 or use Dev C++. If you still wanna stick to Turbo's compilers see this: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65520

use Anjuta IDE for C/Cpp in Linux,if u want an ide.eclipse is also another option.

for a ncurses based ide similar to turbo C/C++,try motor:

+1 for Dev C++

+1 from me too for Dev C++

Might be my personal preference , but i like Visual C++ 2008 Express much better than Dev C++ .

Visual C++ 2008 Express is much much batter than Dev C++. Dev C++ is dead from last 3 years. Check its last release date.
You can't compare Visual C++ 2008 Express with Dev C++. v is so basic and IDE is full of BUGS.
