Has anyone used or heard anything from Borland about the new Turbo Debugger, Turbo Profiler, and Turbo Assembler. Borland put up a notice that they were being released (2/6/90) but I have not received any upgrade notice. Also, Infoworld had a notice that TC++ will be released on May 14. Anybody know anything about that? BTW that is InfoWorld for April 23, 3rd page... Thanks in advance blake freeburg

Just this week, a friend told me he had just received the Borland test version of TC++. It's ready to go out. I'll try to get more specifics, if I can. --David dm3e+@andrew.cmu.edu

Anybody >know anything about that? BTW that is InfoWorld for April 23, 3rd page... I received a notice from Borland last week regarding Turbo C++, Debugger, Profiler, Assembler. It was not an upgrade notice, but an offer to "all registered owners of a Borland product" to purchase Turbo C++ Professional (includes Assembler, Debugger, Profiler) for $125 + $5 shipping. I sent my order in last Wed and await my new Turbo C++ Professional. I don't have the glossies in front of me now, but they touted such features as a customizable integrated environment (multiple windows, use your favorite editor, etc...) and debugger understands and displays object hierarchies and has an "undo" feature allowing you to back out of an execution sequence. This last feature is a pretty neat trick; I don't recall that they mention any limitations on the "run backwards" feature, so I don't know how much backing out you can really do. regards, Larry -- Signed: Larry A.

Turbo C++ is already shipping -- I've seen it in stores already. As for Turbo C++ Professional (includes Turbo Debugger 2.0, TASM 2.0, and Turbo Profiler), I've not seen that package, but believe it is shipping. Rich Thomas

I just got my upgrade to TC++ pro yesterday so I guess they are now shipping. I found it interesting that the box was label "not for export". I wonder what is in it that the State Dept. feels should not be exported. 386 code maybe?? Dave

I received a notice this week that I can upgrade my Turbo Debugger & Assembler for $59.00 + $5.00 S&H. They are advertising their new debugger has reverse instruction tracing to see how you got there, a code profiler to analyze where your time is spent and full support for Turbo C++ and other Borland compilers. Their Assembler is fully MASM compatible and twice as fast. The package also has enhanced use of extended and expanded memory. A friend who bought the Turbo C Professional received an notice to upgrade to the new debugger and assembler and get C++ for $129.00 + ?? S&H. Mark Kallas

Last week I called in an order for the upgrade to C++ Professional, and was told there would be a four week shipping time. I heard from another source that C++ Pro wouldn't appear in the stores until mid June. In the beginning of May I got an upgrade letter for the Assembler/Debugger! I thought it would be the C->C++ upgrade notice. I never got a C-C++ upgrade notice but I did receive an offer to get C++ based on my owning Turbo Pascal! (BTW, that costs $175 instead of the $125 for Turbo C owners). Tom Almy toma@tekgvs.labs.tek.com Standard Disclaimers Apply

The way I understood it you could go into a subroutine and backtrack "n" statements but you could not back out of a subroutine. I beleive I read this in this months Byte magazine but don't quote me on it. >regards, Larry >-- >Signed: Larry A.

The Integrated Development Environment is very nice. I like it much better than the new Microsoft PWB (and I'm a die-hard Microsoft fanatic/shareholder).

The package includes C++, debugger, profiler, and assembler. The missing manuals are the Guide and Reference manuals for the assembler. Instead you get a ring-bound TASM quick reference. Originally this deal was billed as an introductory price on a new product rather than a product upgrade. Now Borland is saying that they did not ship new TASM manuals for 'upgrades'. There is an animated discussion going on about this on Borland's CompuServe forum. A number of people are upset that they got an imcomplete package when they could have bought the complete one for a few dollars more at their local discount software retailer. Borland says that there was little change to the TASM manuals and that a file was provided listing the changes. Just be aware of what each package contains so you can make your choice.

Since I just purchased C++ from Egghead for $99, these upgrade offers (with or without complete manual sets) do not sound particularly good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Albert |Only hoping isn't/what gives us strength to cope.

Has any who received their Turbo C++ pro packs checked to see if they have the PRJ2MAK.exe program (Project to makefile converter)? I noticed it was listed as an included utility in the users guide but I can find it in the disks. Just wondering, Dave

I got the Turbo C professional upgrade to C++ about 10 days ago. So I assume that I got the whole schmeer. Has anyone tried tf386.exe, the Turbo Profiler that takes advantage of the 386? It crashes my machine after I set the command arguments for my program-to-be-profiled and tell the profiler to reload the program. I have an Orchid Privilege-386 with 2 MB of memory. I booted w/o any disk cache and have no other TSR's. The driver that tf386 requires seems to start up normally when tf386 is invoked. Rob

The $125 upgrade from Borland is for TC++ Professional, not just plain old TC++. -- uv@f69.n233.z1.fidonet.org Suffering from PMS (Presentation Manager Syndrome)
