-
- Absolutly and totally different. Plus there's Turbo for DOS and Turbo for
- Windows. They are separate packages.

-
- I've heard the full Borland with App. Frameworks takes up from 30-50Meg.
- I don't know since I have Turbo C/C++ for DOS. It takes up about 15 for
- the full installation I think.

-
- Couldn't agree more. I've gotten enough just mail for Quattro-Pro and
- Paradox to fill a room. But no news on Turbo C/C++.

-
- The only differences that I know of are that you don't get a Windows
- compiler (unless you get Turbo for Windows. Then you don't get a DOS
- compiler.) You don't get Turbo Vision. You don't get the full-featured
- debugger (though the one incorperated into the IDE is more than enough for
- me.) And you don't get the assembler TASM.
