That's a really tough question (although some may disagree).  

When I was writing code for commercial sale, I stayed with Microsoft C++
for the simple reason that it was what Microsoft expected me to use and
what they wrote their reference manuals and other documentation for.
Borland Turbo C++ was also popular, but it has the danger of speaking the
Queen's English in the Bronx--most of what you say will be understood, but
as a friend discovered who called the front desk at her hotel to ask them
to "knock her up" at 7:30 the next morning, it's not guaranteed.

If I were doing this for my own amusement, I'd stick with the DJGPP C++
32-bit platform.  None of the 16-bit nonsense to bother you.

Cheers,
Chuck
