- No.
- There are two versions of Turbo C++; Turbo C++ for Windows and Turbo
- C++. The Windows version includes Windows support (obviously), a
- Windows-only IDE, and the ObjectWindows application framework. The DOS
- version does not include support for Windows, has a DOS IDE, and comes
- either with or without the TurboVision (DOS app) application framework.
-
- Borland C++ can come either with or without BOTH application
- frameworks. Regardless, it includes support for Windows applications.
- It has both a DOS and a WIndows IDE. It also includes goodies like
- Turbo Assembler and Turbo Profiler. More significantly, it is an
- optimizing compiler, and Turbo C++ is not.
