- The two are definitely different metaphors to programming, which is
- what causes programs -- un-learning one approach is just as difficult
- as learning the other.

- How I understand it is that BC++ is more geared towards the
- "professional" programmer whereas TC++ is aimed at the "novice" or
- "amateur". The TC++ packages, in general, do not contain the breadth
- of tools the BC++ packages do. They do, however, contain the same
- quality of product (which is high by all counts). Look over the
- "Features" list of the two boxes for samples; you should find quite a
- few. Also, several "optional tools" of TC++ are standard in BC++.
- (Sorry I can't be more specific ... I haven't actually pored over the
- features lists myself for quite some time now.) I believe the editors
- (of the same version programs) are identicle. Both are on ver 3.1
- now.
- TC++ for DOS is ~$70, TC++ for Windows is ~$120; BC++ for both
- is (highly dependent of if you get Applications Frameworks, et al)
- ~$380 for DOS/Windows. I think the App. FW pushes that up to ~$700+.
