- Borlands line of compilers are confusing !!!
-
- OWL (Object windows library, very powerful).
- TurboVision (Windows "like" API for having a window like application under DOS)
- IDE-W (Integrated development environment under windows)
- IDE-D (Integrated development environment under DOS)
- TD (Debuger for DOS under DOS)
- TDW (debugger for Windows under DOS [not a typo, yes DOS])
- DOCS and DOCS
- Command line compilers.
- Windows Help Compiler.
- DOS help compiler (Turbo Vision).
- Workshop (Dialog Box editor/Icon Editor etc.)
-
- Borland C++ (for windows) Has ALL this and more. As best I can tell
- "Application frameworks" means EVERYTHING. Including all DOCs.
- All the other compilers are basically subsets (repackaging).
- $150.00-$400.00 (I get confused on this wide range, perhaps it's sometimes
- the product below).
-
- Borland C++ (for DOS) I'm not sure if this animal exists. If it does
- it probably includes Turbo Vision.
-
- Turbo C++ for dos is a C++ compiler for dos
- I don't believe Turbo-Vision is included here but can be purchased
- seperately. $60.00 +/-
- Turbo C++ for windows is a C++ compiler for Windows
- Everything listed above minus all the DOS stuff (NO turbo vision,
- no command line compiling (IDE only). You cannot do anything in DOS
- with this (compile in nor compiler for). Less DOCs are supplied
- and they remove some flexibility in compiler optimizations.
- The DOCs that are missing I believe are online. $85.00
