Tuning Library

Hi There,

Thought maybe some members may be interesed in a little library
to use for adding microtonal musical notes to console apps (or indeed
windows programs too) which I've written.

Beginners can use it to play microtonal musical notes in their very first
"hello world" type c programs - maybe on chapter 2 or something.

Anyone got any suggestions for a good C compiler to recommend that
works in Win 2k or Win 98 that beginners can use without having
to pay out for Visual C++ straight away - as it is rather expensive
for someone who doesn't yet know even if they will enjoy programming?

Would want it to have syntax colouring as that will make such
a difference to a newbie (so you see immediately if you mistype
say char as chr or whatever)

Apart from that, nice if it can step through the code but I suppose
that's not so important for ones very first short programs.
