so for those who are a$$ broke, like me, i found out that microsoft offers the same command line compiler that comes with msvc; FOR FREE!!! W00T!

here's hoping i can get it to work.
HELP:
ok, so im assuming that you use this command line compiler with dos (on windows). every command i try comes back with "not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file." do i need to create a batch file to compile? what are the commands?
