I tried out Borland TC++ on a friend's computer the other day. (I'm too cheap to buy it if it won't be better for me than TC 2.0). I was suprised that I could find no reference to 80386 or 32-bit code generation. Am I missing something obvious? Or did Borland wimp out and release a product which doesn't take advantage of 32 bit math? E-mail to: jerry@starfish.convergent.com Gerald Hawkins

TC++ 1.0 will generate 386 specific code, but, it may not be what you are thinking of when you say a 386 compiler. It really is an 80x8x compiler, not a 386 specific complier, per se. bruce

It will generate 286-specific code, using operations not available on earlier processors, but it will not generate code for protected mode on any processor. >| Hayo R.

Turbo C++ Version 1.00 Copyright (c) 1990 Borland International Syntax is: TCC [ options ] file[s] * = default; -x- = turn switch x off -1 80186/286 Instructions -2 80286 Protected Mode Inst. -- Aina on oltava valmiina taistelemaan panssarivaunuja vastaan.

My mistake, I wasn't thinking early in the morning. Turbo C++ doesn't generate 386 code.
