- I wasn't aware that anyone was 'knocking' anything; merely trying to
- help the poor guy understand what the current product line looks like.
- What version is that User's Guide you have? I have one like that,
- too, that shipped with the Turbo C++ 1.0 PROFESSIONAL package (but the
- debugger is Turbo Debugger 2.0). This is the package that is called
- BORLAND C++ 3.1, in its current incarnation.
-
- [Presumably the Turbo Pascal line has a debugger -- do they share the
- same one? In fact, they may still call it Turbo Debugger when it
- ships with the Borland C++ bundle -- my docs for that are at home, and
- I never paid any attention before.]
