Visual C++ Learning Edition AE $35.59 http://www.provantage.com/FP_13023.htm Borland C++ AE $40 http://www.provantage.com/FP_12370.htm SYMANTEC C++ WINDOWS 95, WINDOWS NT CD $61.89 http://www.provantage.com/FP_11633.htm Product "Studio 97 Professional AE" http://www.provantage.com/FP_13003.htm - V Studio Pro $191 And I was explaining that GNU compiler is not tool to create and support Windows software. Anyway one needs SDK unless the only thing one needs is just a port of the existen UNIX software. I am not making a port I am writting a true Windows software and hope this branch will dominate soon (my ROOT collegue likely will disagree) gcc and g++ are the "pure" compilers but MS (and all other PC vendors) supply framework to build application. This framework does contain a compiler too. Probably one can find option and buy the "pure" Micosoft C/C++ compiler cheaper than that 35.59 USD but then he will need to keep some UNIX staff with man pages around at least. And I even am not sure that $35 is a great money nowadays even for China. Anyway the only thing I can not appreciate is to make job that nobody will need. So far I didn't see any event to prove someone does need this. I mean I saw no offer telling we will fund this somehow or we will do this job ourselves. It sounds like you are going to make this libraries. Ok, nobody against. Just create it and tell us whether you still think it is worth. Probably you can look at pur Mac version that has no graphics at all so it is close to your needs. Soory I've to run out for some meeting With my best regards, Valery ================================================================= Dr. Valery Fine Telex : 911621 dubna su ----------- LCTA/Joint Inst.for NuclearRes Phone : +7 09621 6 40 80 141980 Dubna, Moscow region Fax : +7 09621 6 51 45 Russia mailto:fine@main1.jinr.dubna.su Dr. Valeri Faine ------------ Phone: +41 22 767 6468 CERN FAX : +41 22 767 7910 CH-1211 Geneva, 23 mailto:fine@mail.cern.ch Switzerland http://nicewww.cern.ch/~fine
