The difference is that the Professional package includes TASM (Borland's
assembler-MASM compatible) and the Turbo Debugger (TD).  TD offers
debugging capabilities that the TC Integrated Development Environment
doesn't, and rivals Microsoft's Codeview.  My personal opinion is
that both extras in the Professional package are worth the extra
bucks.
