Maybe point out that the compiler is old enough to drink, and doesn't cover the C++03, C++11, C++14, C++17, or C++20 standards. I'd take it up with the professor that even the compiler vendor doesn't distribute it anymore (aside from the other issues pointed out by other commenters). I see a lot of more-or-less sketchy sites to download it from. They have a form to fill out and offer to email it to you. The problem: it's not a direct download link. It links to this one for a download, but I guess that's not up anymore.

This article is kind of a readme for how the compiler works. In 2008, Borland sold their software development tools division to another company called Embarcadero. It's at least a win32 application, looks like. It was released in February 2000 as a freeware command-line compiler, separate from an IDE. They guessed India because there's an educational standard in the law that specifies specific software versions (now rather ancient) for some of their university classes.īorland C++ 5.5 covers the C90 and C++98 standards. if your post does not appear in the new queue, just send a message to the moderators.
