Hello,

at the moment i use Visual C++ 6.0 (Free Book Version), but now want
buy a Professional IDE, but i don't know wich.

What is the better alternative, Borland C++ or Visual Studio?
I also want that the header files graphics.h, colors.h,
and the sound() funtions are included, because i have
many programs (downloaded from programmersheaven)
wich don't work because i don't have the needed header
files and functions.

I realized that the only way for me to learn, is to play
with other code and therefore it's important that my IDE
knows C++ and it is able to compile and execute every
program i find in the Internet.

So please can anyone give me a commendation?

Thank you!

greetings,
