Need builder/compiler

[equitime77]

Hi, if youve read my profile you will know that Im an out of practice programmer. Im used to programming in a RAD environment like the old Borland C++ Builder. Can any of you let me know where I can download/get hold of a free/demo/timed version of a C++ and Java builder (or compiler) preferably like the Borland builder.

My project before I had a break was manipulating the colours within a bitmap. Also could anyone point me to where I can read the bitmap literally bit by bit?

P.S. Im not going to trawl through the previous stuff in this forum (dyslexic) so if this question has been asked before then sorry :)

For compilers, get the Visual C++ 10 Express compiler for windows, g++ for linux. They're totally free.
