Do you have a version of BozOs that's not open-source? I heard that the two best C++ compilers are Borland C++ and Code Warrior, I have Borland C++ 5.02

I use CodeWarrior 4.0, and i have to say, i was surprised on how easy and user friendly the interface was, and how well it worked... I tried Borland, too, and it was acctually almost the same... But since we used CodeWarrior in School, thats the one i used... the thing i like about CodeWarrior is that for example if you declare a variable like double length; the double becomes blue, and you know that codewarrior accepts or tells you that it knows what that means or so...

Yah, borland is like that except for the variable becomes bold.

Hmm... I'm getting a little bit confused. What does BozOS have to do with C++ compilers, and what compilers you have? BozOS is written in assembly language, btw.

No, I do not have a version of BozOS that's not open-source.

1) I prefer including the sources (not because I beleive in some GNU philosophy, but because that's something I just do without thinking of it).
2) Hehe, what's the point of having one open-source and one non-open-source version of an OS project?

I have never used CodeWarrior, but I use Borland C++, and I think it's good.

I also don't see the point of having a open-source BozOS and a non-open-source .... maybe you can tell us why you wanna know that ??

One time i looked up the BozOs online(maybe i went to the wrong site), but all it did was open in my compiler and have a whole sht load of code and i was wondering you had like a CD-Rom or something.

You mean a binary distribution? Yes, I put a disk image distro together to make life easier for ppl like you =).

Download this file and read the instructions at the "Download section" at the BozOS page.
