    I have just started a C programming class.  My plans are to go from
that, to a C++ next semester (the college I am attending requires C
before you go to C++, oh well, no harm done since they are similar).
    My question is this:  Which compiler programs are best.  We are
using Turbo C++ at school.  Eventually, I want to work with windows
(Visual C++) as well as C and C++.  Are there any compiler packages
that will handle all three (I know that Turbo C++ will do both C and
C++, but the package we have at school will not process Visual.)  I
would rather only purchase one compiler if possible (The least
expensive would help also, but I don't want to loose efficiency to the
lower priced packages.)
    Thanks in advance for any advice...

John
