This newsgroup seems to have less postings or questions from
programmers than I remembered years ago. Does that mean
that people have switched to a more common programming
API and/or language??? What is everyone using nowadays??

No, it's Win32 newsgroups that are near-dead. Newbies to Windows
programming have mostly switched to C# because MS gives away the
compiler, but Win32 API programming in C and C++ is mostly discussed
here:

Microsoft really "gives away" the C# compiler?? Does that mean
I can download it and use it for free?? I've always been an
old fan of C and C++....I never felt the urge to investigate or
study C# at all! 8(

Yes. If you have the .NET Framework installed, you have the C#
compilier installed as
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\csc.exe

Replace the v2.0.50727 with the version of the framework you have
installed.

I found the exact file that you mentioned below. I also have a folder
for Framework 3.5.

So, is this just a simple C# compiler without a graphical interface
similar to Visual C++ 6.0??
