Alternative Compilers

Your programs must work on a CCC-Machine (bert, ernie, reno, grover, wpi) to receive full credit. That means that you need to obtain an account on the CCC-Unix-system in order to participate in this class. However, we will be using mostly relatively simple C$^{++}$-features, so you should be able to develop your software on any other system running C$^{++}$. UNIX/LINUX comes with built-in compilers; for Windows there is Microsoft Visual C$^{++}$ available from the WPI library¹ or the free command-line version of Borland-C$^{++}$-5.5, available from www.inprise.com after registration. If you use another machine to develop, remember to double-check that your program runs on a CCC-machine, since different C$^{++}$-compilers have subtle differences.
