[R] Preferred C++ compiler under Windows 2000

[Nicholas Croglio]

Greetings,

I know that most people on here are strong advocates of Unix or a similar OS, but I am interested in calling C++ or using C++ to call R.  What is the preferred or the compiler that works the best.  In the documentation it appears that VC++ is recommended, but in some posts I have seen statements that claim VC++ is not recommended.  I have a DEV C++ IDE, but I would like to borrow from the experience of others if possible.

Thanks,
Nicholas Croglio
