- The "Turbo C++ Professional Package" that you bought used was a predecessor
- of the Borland C++ package.
-
- Borland the Company is now maintaining the "Turbo" line in parallel with
- the "Borland" line, with the "Turbo" packages targeted at
- learners and the "Borland" packages targeted at pros who need things like
- assemblers, both DOS and Windows support with one compiler, and optimization.
-
- But the old Turbo C++ 1.0 Pro package was their best collection in its day.
- It included small-scale optimization such as automatic register variable usage,
- but nothing like the larger scale stuff in the newer compilers.
