Only TC 2.01 and TC++ 1.02 are free. And OpenWatcom! Quite big but seems
to be quite powerful as well.

I think you will want programming with DJGPP in a very GNUish environment.
DJGPP can only compile 32bit protected mode programs (which will use the
CWSDPMI for the DOS extender) but unless your C++ project is writing a
driver, there will be no problem with that. DJGPP is a DOS version of GCC/G++,
which includes a DOS version of a glibc type library. Many tools like BASH
and AUTOMAKE/AUTOCONF/SED/... are available for DJGPP as well, and its free.

Eric.

PS: My driver-ish projects are all written in
TC 2.01 or NASM assembly language, but I also use DJGPP for bigger apps.
The FreeDOS kernel can be compiled with TC 2.01, too, but OpenWatcom does
better optimization here.

PS: "copy a:\. ." crash and "if you give no /P, FreeCOM allows EXIT" are
well known! Please read Bugzilla before you tell us about old bugs.
The "dir .exe" shorthand for "dir *.exe" is also a well known feature request.
Please try both EDIT 0.7a and 0.81, and then help to create 0.7b and 0.82...
they both have enough bugs and we do already know it.
