Commercial Compilers

The most ``popular'' (whatever that means) compilers for MS-DOS and Windows systems are manufactured by Microsoft and Inprise (formerly Borland). Both of these companies have several compiler products to offer, including some cheap ones (under $100) targeted at individuals, and some expensive ones ($600 to $1000 or more) targeted at professional software developers. There are compilers for MS-DOS or Windows (though the former are becoming obsolete) and for C, C++, or both. An inexpensive ($20 or $30) commercial option is Power C from Mix Software, 1132 Commerce Drive, Richardson, TX 75801, 214-783-6001.

For the Macintosh, the two commercial compilers I know of are Think C by Symantec, and CodeWarrior by Metroworks.
