Hi, I just got the hype sheet from our friend Phillipe & Co. hawking their latest wares, AKA Turbo C version 1.5. Actually doesn't sound too too bad. They claim that now it comes with a graphics lib that provides 70 some intrinsic functions. They claim to support CGA, MDA, EGA, VGA, Herc, ATT-400 for graphics. I suppose only text windows for MDA. It's nice that they claim to support so many graphics goodies, but I noticed that they avoided saying that devices are supported at their respective full resolutions. Like, do we really get something better than CGA emulation on a VGA device, I wonder. Anybody pop for the $33.5 or $15 (if you bought 1.0 in the last few weeks) upgrade fee and have the beast yet? I'd be willing if the graphics are decent.
