Several years ago I bought a Symantec C++ 6.0 compiler to learn programming. And
now I am a happy owner of a Digital Mars CD (also to learn how to program, i'm a
slow learner <g>).

So my question is is there anything useful from the Ancient compiler, I might
want to save, or should I just chuck it?

Thanks,
Chris

I have not used any ancient compiler (well, that ancient) for years...

develop/experiment with all types of programming, IE: win32 console, MFC gui,
dos real mode and extended. OS/2 (if it  is still possible) and mixed mode c +
assembly language.

I am working on getting a computer science degree via distance learning and will
do lots of experimenting. 

Thanks

Symantec C++ 6.0 sometimes will bring a good price on Ebay.

Well I guess that answers my question then <g>. There doesn't seem to be
anything I can't do with the DM compiler, except work in a DOS environment.

With that said I'm glad to see the compiler being developed again, and I'm glad
that it's lots cheaper to buy this time.

Thank you Walter,
Chris

You're welcome!

Surprisingly the ProtoGen RAD tools in SC++ 6.0 does contain
interesting stuff. Some of the code generated are actually quite
intelligent. I did "pinched" some of the routes generated because
they were both 16-bit and 32-bit compatible. Sort of hard to
write it yourself from scratch.
