I used to program in C using Borland C++ Builder v4.52 but havent done
anything for a while.

I want to buy a new compiler but dont know which.

I would like to be able to compile all my old code but dont mind the effort
to port over if required.

My main venture is to create a serial port listener that can be run from
both DOS and a Windows Platform. Currently im running Windows 2000 but I
also have a laptop running XP. I would like to be able to develop the
software on both systems.

Im confused by all the .NET jargon and dont understand what it means.

Should I go for Borland C Builder 6 or Microsoft Visual C++ .NET

Your help would be most appreciated

Thanks

Steve
