  12. Someone asked the differences between Borland C++ and Turbo C++.  Many
  13. responses followed.  Here's one more.
  14.  
  15. Borland C++ (BC) is considered the "professional" package, Turbo C++
  16. (TC) is not.  
  17.  
  18. BC includes more powerful, standalone tools for developing, such as the 
  19. excellent Turbo Debugger, profiler, etc.  BC is an optimizing (sp?) compiler,
  20. TC is not.
  21.  
  22. If you're a professional developer, get BC, else get TC.  They usually 
  23. are about $200 apart.
