[Lee]

Hi
I am not sure whether i am going off topic in asking this.
It will be great help for me if any one could pinpoint locations where
i could download the free gcc compiler to work on windows xp.
Thanks in advance.

It is off topic, we deal with the language not the thousands of tools
and compilers.

There is no "the free gcc compiler to work on windows xp" there are
several different ports that work in different ways. If you try actually
searching with Google for the terms "windows" and "gcc" three of the
first links are for implementations of gcc on Windows. Did you even try
looking?

Also the beta version of DJGPP 2.04, from www.delorie.com. I
believe mingw would be another possibility. All of these make a
near unix environment available on Windoze and/or Dos.

Lee,
If you must have GCC then MINGW from www.mingw.org is I think the best
compromise.Unlike CYGWIN it generates native windows executables. Of course
if you have broadband you can get MS C++ for free for now. See
