I hear a lt about C++, both Borland C++, Turbo C++ and Borland Turbo C++. I take it all these packages are done by Borland... What is the difference between Borland C++, and Borland Turbo C++? I know there is a substantial price difference, what does that reflect? I was told the Turbo version is much more "robust"... Matthew dridge@athena.mit.du

Basically, the difference between Turbo C++ (TC++) and Borland C++ (BC++) is that with TC++, you are limited to creating DOS binaries, where in BC++, you can create MS Windows binaries in addition to the standard DOS binaries. > I was told the Turbo version is much more "robust"... Other than that, I know of no other differences. I have no idea which may be more robust. Considering the greater level of complexity of BC++, I would guess, though, that it isn't as robust as TC++.
