Hi everybody! Great news for all programmers of freeware chess engines (and all the other C/C++ programmers too): Borland just released the new version of it's C/C++ compiler for free download from their web-site (www.borland.com)!!! It's only the command line tools and the normal runtime-library and STL, no IDE included, no MFC or VCL library, but nevertheless you get everything you need to build fullblown windows applications. And a Linux-version is said to follow too. This may not be the best news for GCC (which I've been using myself for a long time some years ago), but I guess it's good news for all the rest of us. I'm just downloading it right now, so please wait with your own download for 10-20 minutes until my download is finished ;-) I'll try it on my own chess program and then I'll be able to compare the results to those obtained with VC++ 6.0 and Watcom C++ 10.0a. Can't wait to see it. Go!Zilla says 17 minutes left until the download is finished... Wow, after the release JBuilder Foundation (a free, fullblown, super-good IDE for Java on Windows and Linux) this is the second big punch from Borland. I start to fall in love with them again :) (have been buying and using Turbo/Borland Pascal many years ago) Wow. Heiko.
