Forgive me for not knowing more, but im new to C++/vC++
and i need someone who could answer me this question very simply
"What is the big difference between C++ and the newer Visual C++"
Im just getting my feet wet in programming and i would like to know if someone
can give me a simple answer. Thanx. B

In theory, there is no difference. C++ is the language and VC++ is a
development environment for that language. However, in practice VC++
also supports proprietary frameworks and APIs for Windows such as MFC,
ATL, Win API and others which are not part of the C++ standard.
