sbbs-windows and sexpots can be built with Microsoft Visual C++. While it's a commerical product, they do have free versions available for download that work perfectly fine for that.

That said, sbbsctrl.exe and a few other small GUI executables require C++Builder 6 which is an old/deprecated commercial product (by Borland) with no real "free" workable equivalent.
