Subject: c compilers


I want to try to learn C. So, I'll need a compiler for the pics and also
a compiler that runs under windoze or dos, so I can learn the language.
I have a book called "programming in C", by Stephen G. Kochan. I would
like to keep the cost as near zero as possible. I downloaded some
compilers for windoze or dos. Most of them wouldnt even compile their
own sample programs. So far the only one that seems to work is the
pacific shareware version, but I dont know what its limitations are. At
least it has enough info to run it. Does anyone have any
reccommendations for decent compilers that I should look at? Also, what
is available for the pics, since I would eventually need a pic compiler?

Thanks,
Don
