bloody good free compiler.

thanks alot man i relly apreate it.

the damned thing will not let me sign up when i try 2 it says "can not find server"

You can also try DevC++. (www.bloodshed.net) It''s free and has a nice IDE.
If you want an IDe for Borland''s compiler try Vide.

i downloaded the bloddshed one it is pretty good but when i enter this code

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!\n";
return 0;
}

it says there is no probs but when a run it nothing happens here is the tutrioul i got that code from http://members.tripod.com/~firstpod/cpp21/ch01.htm thanks if u can help me

It is doing something, it''s just doing it so fast you don''t see it. Try this (written in modern C++):

  #include <iostream>#include <cstdio>int main(void) {  std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;  getchar();  return 0;}  

It will force the console to stay open until you hit a key. Alternatively, just run the program from a console to see the results.

when i try to open it it will not open how can i fix this?

What do you mean? You''re being too vague.

ok sorry like i made the program "hello world.exe" but i am unable to open it.
