Can someone give me a link to download Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0? I searched in Google for it but I could only get "service packs" and updates :/

If its not free then can you give me a link for another free one?

Where is a good place to start learning C++?

MS Visual C++ 6 would be a bad thing, even if you could get it for free.

Use MinGW instead.

Try reading some of the tutorials here, and ask questions. Smile

I use lcc-win32, it includes an editor, debugger, compiler, and pretty much everything else you need. It can do both C and C++, and its free Smile.

Oh, sry it took me a while to check back...

It's been a while since I downloaded it, but I think this is it:

Direct Download:
ftp://ftp.cs.virginia.edu/pub/lcc-win32/lccwin32.exe

Site:
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/

It read this somewhere "It will not compile C++, but FORTRAN is available" but I've done C++ on it too (if I am remembering correctly Confused ). I cant check at the moment (other comp), but I will post when I can.

Wow. Haven't heard of that one for awhile. The compiler he's talking about is included with the prepackaged SmartEiffel compiler for Windows.
