Definitely one of the better ones for the price of $0

i forgot to mention that i have visual studio 97 on disc somewhere, and i was thinking about checking out borland 4.5 also. now, if you were me, which of these compilers would you use?? ....

I use it. Very nice. (Dev that is.)
-
Still dev-c++
Your other choices are really on the old side now.
-
well, which compiler(s) do you guys personally use?
-
Look at the first three words in my last post. ;)
-
GCC and Dev-C++'s default compiler.
-
i use dev c++ and haven't seen a reason to get any other compiler my pinion is to go with it
-
I used Dev-C++ for a good while but recently switched to VS .NET 2003. It has a lot of nice features, but is very expensive (except if you go to college/university, where you can probably get a nice discount). Dev is still a great choice though
-
I use GCC mainly on OS X and Linux. On the rare occasions that I use (and program on) a Windows machine, I generally use GCC (aka the compiler that comes with Dev-C++).
Cheers

Dev C++ is definitly a good package, at least for beginners. (being one myself I'm not sure if you'd want anything more from an IDE :p)
-
Dev-C++ is one of the best IDEs available, and certainly the best free one. I also use Visual Studio.NET 2003, which has the benefit of a visual editor. If I'm writing a program that requires a GUI, that visual editor (and some of the other similar features) are great to have, but most of the time, I use Dev-C++ just because it's a simpler coding environment.
FYI, the default compiler is MinGW, which is the Windows port of GCC, which is an extremely popular compiler - often used as the bench mark for other compilers.

They have Visual C++ 2003 on the microsoft website.. if you want you can download it and use it.. they also have Visual C++ 2005 Beta 1(i believe). also very nice compiler.
But other than that i would go with Dev-Cpp
