I would like to purchase TurboC and began pricing it by looking first in Computer Shopper. I found TurboC 2.0 for as low as $85, but the ad also listed TurboC Professional for $159. What is the difference (besides price) between these two products. Why would I want or need one over the other. -pete schmitt

I believe the Turbo C professional, (and turbo pascal professional) come with the Turbo Debugger and Turbo Assembler. (Not so sure about Turbo Assembler). Note that Turbo C 2.0 already has a built in Debugger that I find adequate for most purposes. The Turbo Debugger simply adds enhancements to the debugger in the environment. Also, Turbo Assembler is quite nice, if you plan to write assembly routines. Milan mms00786@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu .

All of the "Turbo <whatever> Professional" packages include a copy of the Turbo Debugger, as well as the stuff you get standard with the "Turbo <whatever>" package. Note that Milan may have been confused, because the Turbo Assembler (*not* "Turbo Assembler Professional"; there is no such thing) comes with the Turbo Debugger. Since Turbo Assembler doesn't have an integrated edit/compile/debug environment like TC and TP do, I guess Borland felt that they had to include a debugger to keep their product line consistant (i.e., each program comes with a debugger -- TC and TP have it built-in, and TA comes with a separate program). -- Marc Unangst UUCP smart : mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us UUCP dumb : ...!uunet!sharkey!mudos!mju UUCP dumb alt.: ...!{ames,rutgers}!mailrus!clip!mudos!mju Internet : mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us

Yes.
The professional Series just includes the Turbo Debugger and Assembler. Which
makes the deal a lot cheaper then getting them seperatly.
