If you just want to write the program, you can do so using any text editor like notepad and save the file with .c/c++ extension. To run the program you would definitely need a compiler

Dev-C++ is just an IDE. It has nothing to do with your expected outputs. It uses the GNU C/C++ compiler which is not essentially for Windows programming but rather the best standard compiler set available which runs across a variety of platforms.

Ps. Also note that just cause your code sucks, or some other integral part of yours does, don't blame the compiler or the tool that helped you do so. JF-Debug-It.

IMHO I would recommend Microsoft Visual C++ when compared to Dev-C++. It's a lot better. But its your preference... Get Visual c++ 2008 express edition from microsoft's webste which is free.

Use GCC with Eclipse.

How can you _download_ it without an internet connection? :D

for writing the codes you don't need such a program :)

If you are looking for compilers then you can go for the following compilers

*www.bdsoft.com/resources/bdsc.html (OSS)

*www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

DOS based:
