Well,some comments:
I don't really think Borland __sux__ at compilers,just at the windoze
version 4.0.
I also think Borland's Turbo C++ is very good(and even better than
djgpp) for a newcomer to programming or C/C++.
Don't get me wrong,djgpp is by far better and more complex than turbo
C++,but for a newcomer,djgpp's complexity can really be confusing.
