- You're all confused. Turbo C++ has indeed been sold bundled with Turbo
- Assembler, Turbo Debugger, and Turbo Profiler. This package was sold
- as 'Turbo C++ Professional'. I don't believe it is currently marketed
- in this way.
-
- Similar packages still exist for Turbo Pascal, however, called - yes,
- you guessed it - Turbo Pascal Professional.
