Peruse "www.ebay.com" This is an on-line auction mainly of
individuals who have used or unneeded items to sell. There are many
categories, including computers and software. You can find most
current software packages for 30-50% of the retail. I am not joking
- this includes WInNT, MSOffice, VC++ etc. Somebody somewhere wants
to get rid of a copy. I do not think that this is pirate stuff - EBay
wouldn't want that. I have not purchased anything yet, but will check
there when I am serious about buying such.

Subject: Source for C++ compiler
OK, so this request isn't directly related to trading. It's kind
of a computer question, so if you're that crabby subscriber who
always asks "how does this help ME make more money?", this is your
cue to reply with a flame.
Now, for the rest of you... I'm trying to learn C++, and have purchased
one of those "Teach Yourself" books. Naturally, you need a C++ compiler
and program editor to do the exercises - any recommendations as to which
is best/cheapest. And, I'm afraid that the latter attribue may be the
more important to me right now. Any web sites where I can download a
compiler, say a demo version?

1. Buy the professional version through a friend at a college for pennies
on the dollar.
2. Buy the non professional version
In the event that I need to buy something, whose product is good for a
beginner? I don't want something that: 1) cost $600, 2) will take more
time to install and learn than it takes me to learn C++, and 3) enriches
Bill Gates.
Again, I think that a beginner should start learning on standard in the
industry which is Visual C++. There should be entry level editions of the
compiler that start at around $129.
