I started writing a Visual Basic chess program but have decided to migrate to C++. Checking out Microsoft compilers, the Enterprise version of 6.0 seems to be overkill (and at $1300 out of price range!). Microsoft's Standard version of C++ 6.0 is about $100 and the Professional version is $550. Assuming I'm using this to write chess code exclusively, is the extra $450 justified to move up to Professional? Or is another company (e.g. Borland) a better choice/value? (If it matters, I have a Pentium II 400 MHz with 128Mb RAM and would eventually like to port the program to WinBoard). Many thanks in advance for your opinion!
