Lines: 25 Hi there, I am thinking of shifting over to C++ on an experimental basis since there are soooo many good things being said about it! Here's my dilema. Which one (from which vendor) do I buy.?? My initial development platform is the IBM PC clone family. I am a C refugee from the camps of Borland and Microsoft. (I used whichever was handy). Here is my wish list. a) Implements AT&T C++ v2.0 faithfully. b) Has a source-level debugger, along the lines of Turbo debugger or Dbx. c) Runs on MS-DOS/MS-DOesnt. d) Would be great if the company had a UNIX version! Any hints will be mucho appreciated by e-mail or otherwise. If you have a favourite C++ compiler/debugger please let me know. Cost is not that much of a big deal unless exhorbitant!
