Two fantastic compilers are now freeware

(1/1)

mrainey:
The developer of these two compilers (Aurora and Emergence Basic) has decided to distribute them as freeware, in the hope that charging a small fee for support coupled with much wider distribution will give him a better payback in the long run.  These are both rock-solid programs capable of producing compact, standalone Windows executables.

I use Emergence Basic to create my own commercial software.

Aurora features a syntax similar to C++ with high level commands making it ideal for students and advanced programmers alike. Aurora can create stand alone executables with no runtime libraries needed.

Main Features

    * Fast 32-bit compiler, assembler, and linker.
    * Uses standard COFF and LIB format files for maximum compatibility.
    * Easily upgradeable with add-on command libraries.
    * Integrated editor, source-level debugger, and compiler.
    * Multi-module programming supports unlimited source and include files.
    * Interfaces seamlessly with Windows™ technologies.
    * COM and OOP (class) support.
    * Supports Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista.
    * Intrinsic unicode support.
    * Linux support in development.
    * Built-in GUI/Form designer.
    * Built-in menu designer.
    * Gui, database, string, math, console, file, 2D and 3D libraries included.
    * Integrated resource compiler.
    * All tools can be run from the command line as well as the IDE.
    * Robust data type support including classes, structures and unions.
