	Loads.  Turbo Debugger allows you to disassemble the source code
for C++ into readable assembly language, making for real nice nifty work when
you forget that far pointer being passed to a near parameter.  Animation allows
you to watch execution step by step at the source code OR disassembled level
without punching the F8 key which is wearing out by now.  If you have a 386 you
can actually monitor certain memory chunks and set break points if they are
written to or referenced in any way.  My favorite feature is the ability to
debug TSR code, something Turbo C++ lacks heavily in.  You can even insert
instructions on the fly in assembly code WHILE RUNNNING THE PROGRAM.  I own
both (got the Pro Package) and I don't regret it for a minute. Of course
every other language Borland released for the last three years as well.  I
live by their products.
