Subject: Recommended version of Visual C++?

Author: Mike Carter

Date: 09:22:02 02/01/00


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!
