hp0p+@andrew.cmu.edu (Hokkun Pang) (01/25/91)

i plan to get turbo c++ and turbo pascal 6.0 once they're available at cheap
price. is trubo pascal professional compatible with turbo c++?
i mean, if you have the professional packages from either turbo pascal or
turbo c++, do you need the one from the other?

100% the same.  Just make sure you have the latest version available for
either compiler.  Borland has made "asynchronous" changes 
(most notably in OOP) in both languages that affect the debugger's 
ability to interpret object hierarchies.

Yes, they are, but be sure to get the tp6 prof. package since tpcx, the 
protected mode pascal compiler is only included in the prof. package not
in the ordinary tp6.

95% the same.  You need TP Pro to get TPCX (extended memory command line
compiler).  I don't think this available from the TC++ Prof package.  

Bottom line:  Get TP6.0 Pro and TC++ (normal version) and you won't miss out
on anything
