This project involves development of a simple integrated environment for compiling C++ programs and possibly others. This environment should be suitable for use by beginning CS students as an alternate to the standard Microsoft Visual C++ IDE. This package should provide options to work with GNU C++ (g++) and the command line version of Visual C++. The system should provide intelligent help to track down and correct syntax errors. If time permits provide a visual interface to the GNU debugger. Extensions include providing the option of using this package with Java.
