Express Editions. There is also PellesC, DJGPP, and lcc-win32. DJGPP is not
strictly for Windows however.

up past reviews (e.g. Google), and start with some which don't involve
too much investment, at least in the trial stage. I use both ICL and
cygwin gcc, recognizing those are clear minority choices. Both are
available for free (30 day trial only for ICL). If you insist on full
GUI, you don't have many choices, so just try them.

The obvious choice is the free MS Visual C++ 2005 express which is on
free download and is the easiest place to start with windows
development.

of glory, such as when I coaxed it into putting "Hello world" where I wanted
in a window, it still insists on adding stdafx.h to my portable ANSC C

real.

That all started in the early '1990's as I recall. I got into it at v2
in 1996. DJGPP didn't then and doesn't now know anything about Windows.
It is a DOS program which creates DOS programs. These DOS programs run
perfectly well under the ntvdm.

I have see some very complex graphics program compiled with it. (All
portable C too) I also know some very good compilers written using it.

"Express" versions a while back (I think I still have the CDs) and
fairly quickly decided it would be more fruitful to build a linux box
and install gcc (or for that matter, more fruitful to wallop myself
