Yours was the compiler I used to learn C++ in 2003. Thank you!

Having nice users like you guys is very gratifying!

I learned C++ in 1989 using one of his earlier compilers!

I still have somewhere Walter's Zortech C++ that was life saver for me at one point.

H/W: i386 machine 25 mhz, 2mb RAM. Internet: No OS: MSDOS IDE: MultiEditor + Zortech C++ Where: in the middle of nowhere - small town between Europe and Asia.

At some point upgraded the whole setup to Symantec C++ on Windows - for unknown now reasons.

For me also Zortech was gold. The Symantec version was also fine.

Loved the compiler and the UI. Best UI ever. Esp. if compared to the Turbo/Borland stuff and then MSVC.
