Now that BC is freebeerware...
Do those "other compiler utilities" include a GNU setup such as DJGPP?

I've never used a licensed win95 on any computer I've owned.  I used
DOS and Win3.1, then Mac OS on my other computer, then (site) licensed
98 and (General Public) licensed Linux on my laptop.

It completely violates copyright.  A fella could get busted.

They can sell NeoPaint (shareware) or WinGIMP (free software) CDs and
call 'em Photoshop.
