Greetings, I just downloaded DM C/C++ compiler, so that I could put it on my old laptop (with IBM DOS 5.00 -no Windows). I got the files onto the laptop, but it says messages like "Requires Win32" and "This is a 32 bit Windows NT program. Is there some special thing I should do to get it to work, or does it not work in DOS without Windows?? Please help!!!

That's not up to me... May be Walter could still generate a DOSX/DOS version?! Jan Philippe Signoret wrote:Is there any way I can get an older version that can run on DOS?

That would be greatly appreciated. Who is Walter and how can I contact him?
What is DOSX? As you can see, I'm new at this.
Just in case he can't does anyone know of any other free downloadable C
and/or
C++ compilers that can run in DOS??

Take a look at http://www.thefreecountry.com/developercity/ccompilers.shtml But last time I looked, C++ for DOS wasn't on except for DJGPP (which isn't strictly 16-bit). Restricting yourself to plain C will yield better results. You need a 80386 or better to run DJGPP, a few C compiler will do 'pure' dos though. Either that or to hunt for an older compiler (AFAIK Zortech, Borland and Watcom all had a C++ compiler running on DOS at sometime. I've used both Zortech (I think version 2) and Borland (was it version 3.x?) under DOS and the Zortech one had a thing called VCM which was very good (and allowed you write pretty large progs considering the limitations of the platform). As usual Borland had good C++ language implementation, but poor code generation (I found three ways of compiling, each producing different code using the exact same switches, brrrrrrr). If you are just starting out the Borland might appeal more, if you want the resulting apps to work well I would suggest Zortech (but I must admit, I'm biased).

You have available Turbo C++ 1.01 (http://community.borland.com), and in
a short, OpenWatcom (http://www.openwatco.org)

While the compiler can target DOS and generate executables for DOS, it cannot run under DOS. The reason is because it needs too much memory for DOS, etc.
