I'm using windows here, but can't find visual c++ 2008 express. Well I know it's listed in the list of programs that are installed, but haven't managed to find where it is.

Mac you can get xcode, Linux you can get gcc, Windows has visual studio 2008 express or mingw. All the compilers listed are free (vs has a professional version, but you can get express free).

Does anyone know of any free or fairly cheap c++ compilers? Or is it possible to write the coding in notepad and run through the command line? Thanks for any help/advice, Harmony.
