[comp.lang.c] Windows & C++

	Is the existing C++ everyone talks about compatible with
	Windows 3.0, or is there  a special C++ version
	from Borland?

	Also, if anyone has used C++ for Windows software development,
	why would you recommend it over Micrsoft's C 6.0?

	Borland has 2 C++ products: Turbo C++ which is a C and C++
        compiler only, and Borland C++, which is a C, C++ and Windows
        compiler, and also has a Debugger, Profiler & Assembler.

	To develop Windows applications, the Borland route is much cheaper.
