I am not sure that I understand you. I use VC++
in its window mode. I never called it from the
DOS level (I don't know whether that's possible).
Since a C++ compiler can cover almost all C constructs,
one can say that a C++ compiler can do both, but
not in the other direction that a C compiler can do
both (if it could, then it would be, by definition,
a C++ compiler).
