I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who prefer certain free IDEs over BCB. You may want to check those out before you make a financial investment. I wouldn't worry too much about the features that the trial will have that you won't later as I doubt you'd use them too much for personal use.Īlso, before spending a bunch of money, you can get pretty good compilers for free (Heck you can get Borland's compiler for free, it's the IDE that you are paying for with BCB) and you can get IDEs for free too online. That will give you a feel of what it's like and what it is used for.

What do you intend to use it for, like what kinds of programs are you most likely going to make?Īlso, you can download (though it's fairly large for a dialup connection) Borland C++ Builder 6 Enterprise edition for trial use for 60-days. Would you know how I can download it? If not, how's the personal 6 compiler if you have used it before? I was thinking about purchasing one for school. Now you mentioned that they were giving old versions of their c/c++ compiler for free. I've been going crazy trying to find out why it wouldn't work. : Hey bro thanx for being the first one to give me a straight answer.
