i need a c++ compiler that will fit on a floppy disk (unzipped) and work proporly. i suppose if i had to i could just put in only the header files that i use but does anyone know of a small c++ compiler?

A compiler will with all libs and headers and IDE will always be bigger than 1.4 megabyte.
As far as I know you could only use assembers every other program capable of making exes would be too big. Sorry.
