  To which the obvious response is: Can you skip going to the computer
store and instead simply download for free Microsoft or Borland or
Watcom's C or C++ for PCs (DOS, Windows, or OS/2) and various Unix's?
(see ftp cs.nyu.edu pub/gnat)
  But hopefully not too many *professionals* decide on their tools
based on what Home Depot or Comp USA or Microsoft is pushing today.
