Too right. But it should be noted that both C and C++ give you enough rope to hang yourself with. My preference for doing things is; 1) Can it be done with a shell-script? (esp. one-time hacks) 2) Else use Perl, Octave, Ruby, but 3) If speed is key, use C. :-) > > > Im using Borland C++ compiler on XP and was wondering what compilers > > > there are for FreeBSD that would allow me to compile and execute some > > > of the examples i will practise from the book. > >=20 > > FreeBSD comes with the GNU C++ and C compilers installed.

Both OpenBSD and NetBSD (pkgsrc) have recently imported Anders Magnusson's BSD-licensed pcc compiler. At this time it is i386 en C only. In time this might be a faster (as in compile-time) alternative to gcc.
