P.S. Check out my nifty new email address--completely spam-proof!

Yes, (e-mail address removed) is my ACTUAL, non-munged email address. You (real
people) can email me, but spammers can't! You get an automatic reply
the first time you email me, and once you click on the verification
link in the reply, all your subsequent emails get through.

He he
I'll probably work for a few months or so Until the spammers get better

Best,
John

Listed at the URL I gave in "related downloads",
<url: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/>.

Thanks. But I would like to avoid installing the SDK. I just want the
documentation for the Compiler.

This is now _very_ off-topic so I suggest ending this thread here.

The thread will end when people stop posting to it.

As long as people post information I consider useful, I will continue
to post to it.

It is properly labeled "OT", which means you can filter it.

Except -- nobody seems to have mentioned g++ (GNU C++); the mingw
version is nice, and it's free, and it's up-to-date, although of course not
with the same platform-specific support as platform-specific compilers have.

Someone did mention MINGW and DJGPP, and my response was that I wanted
the Microsoft C/C++ Optimizing Compiler only.

Unfortunately Road Runner doesn't carry those forums.

So aim your newsreader at Microsoft's server "msnews.microsoft.com".
Once there, look for the microsoft.public.vc.* hierarchy.

True, but you'll very likely get an answer whether or not you're an
MSDN subscriber.

You don't get it - I have no intentions of catching up. I am an old C
hack who refused to join the windows mania. I leave it to the next
generation to waste ^H^H^H^H^H spend time on that sort of thing. When
I want to add 1 + 1, I want to load the accumulator immediate and get
on with it, not waste ten pages of code registering with 60 GB of
other code just so I can display the result. A simple printf( ) or
even an INT 10H call is more to my liking.

I think you must install GNU/Linux. Everything is programmable. And the
source code is available.


Also i saw DOS 7 somewhere online.


What i consider as the best free GNU/Linux distribution is White Box Linux:

Most technical people want to help others - that's how they broaden
their own knowledge. Only ignorant people try to squelch inquiry. The
good thing about Usenet is they can't.

That's on my list of things to do.

I have DOS 6.22. I believe DOS 7 was rigged to make Win9X work.

What i consider as the best free GNU/Linux distribution is White Box Linux:

Why not Red Hat?

As long as it has Bill Joy's C Shell, I don't care if it's from Mars.

I am an old BSD hack from many years ago. In fact some of the people I
have talked to who are in the business of maintaining UNIX tell me
that Open BSD and Free BSD are the ones to consider.

People have complained that Linux is a real bitch to configure. Maybe
that has changed over the past couple years.

There really was a DOS 7 as a standalone product (IBM DOS 7.0 I believe).

I have checked both FreeBSD and OpenBSD and man they are very primitive.
Something like the state GNU/Linux was in 1996 or so. GNU/Linux is *very*
mature and from all distributions i have checked (now that i have got a DSL
i checked all the prevalent distributions from GNU/Linux and BSD) and White
Box is the best free (both for downloading and installing) GNU/Linux
distribution i have seen so far.

What happened to Red Hat?

What makes White Box so good?

You will find that the denizens of c.l.c++ are much pickier, and much
more vocal, about OT-ness than most other NGs. I am neither praising
nor decrying this characteristic, but that's how it is.

Actually c/r mail schemes have a serious flaw: When you recieve spam with
a faked "From" address you offload the burden of doing you spam checking
onto the poor sod that had his address abused.

Search alt.os.linux for msgid:
<[email protected]> for a lengthy
flamewar on the subject.

I posted a response to you in alt.spam.

There's a more serious flaw. What happens when two people who both use
challenge/response systems try to email each other for the first time?
