I would go with Watcom C/C++ compiler I believe that it has a overall great assembler/Optimizer and last i check it was around $350. www.sybase.com

I'm using WATCOM, too, and I think this Compiler is good. I bought it, because it was (and still is) the best compiler for DOS Programs (my opinion). What is the better choice for Windows/DirectX - WATCOM or Visual C++? I've never tested VC++.

I use Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Professional Edition along with the MSDN Library 6.0

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 both at work and at home.

My friend got Visual Studio for work, so i was able to have a look at VC++ 6.0 Professional. I've never used it before - it's great. Compared to the IDE of Watcom .
I was going to get it, but i'm still a student and i can't afford those €500
What about the Standard Edition? It's only €125...

VC++ 6 Enterprise Edition and Borland C++ Builder 3 Professional.

FYI, MSVC 6 Pro (and most other compilers) can be picked up for ~100$ at most college computer stores with their respective college ID OR you can usually order through the compiler developer's web page the discount version with a photocopy of the college id. These are full versions of the pro versions with only a slightly different licensing agreement (no profit off any work derived from the instance of the compiler).

My cousain studies computer science and told me about a compiler by Intel, that would be very good. Does anybody know it? Is it an option, too?

Which compilers do everyone out there use.
Tell me if they are free or not.
