I'm looking for a simple, folder containable C editor/compiler that I can download to and freely use on rather restrictive University computers (the kind that don't let you "install" anything using traditional .msi or .exe installers). I pretty much need something that can run entirely from a folder that I can easily and simply download or copy to a Windows XP desktop and use from there. Thanks in advance for your help, and until then I'll be eagerly awaiting your replies. Ereon ------------------ |

Well, what I did was to use my own computer, and use remote desktop to access it when I'm not in my dorm room. ------------------ |

Try a java-based editor. Eclipe or JEdit (although they ARE of large filesize). Since its java, it won't have to use the registry to store application-critcal data |

I don't have a ton of time to dig into this, but a few quick Google searches turned up this discussion thread which you may or may not find helpful. Cheers! --clint |

Clint & D-SIPL: Thanks a heap guys, your links were awesome (and actually both eventually led me to the exact same place). I was able to find a copy of Dev C++ and make modifications to it that allowed me to set up a portable version of the program that I can run off CD-ROM. Thanks for your suggestions everyone, I appreciate your input. Ereon ------------------ |

hey how about turbo c++ all you need is to put it into a folder and it will run.it comes in a zip file and you have to extract it into a folder of your choice,and it doesn't use any registry ,i don't think the concept of registry was present when turbo c++ was made(1992). ------------------ |

Really? I always thought Turbo C++ was kind of fun. Turbo Prolog, on the other hand, was quite the pain. ------------------ |

if only turbo c++ had the right libraries and good debugging features,i'd be using it. ------------------ |

I grew up with TurboC -- for years that was all I learned with. Borland's graphics libraries were fantastic as well -- a great way to learn simple graphics programming in C. While it's not the old straight-C version I started with, I think it's really cool that Borland put Turbo C++ up for free download on their site. --clint |
