Both are good prices.  The C compiler is identical.  The professional
package includes a first rate assembly level debugger in addition to the
debugger supplied as a standard part of tc2.0.  Also Borland's assembler
is included.  I rarely use anything but TC's debugger and have not yet
done the work with the assembler which I expected ... Ah well, I have
kids to occupy my extra time and they take precedence over assembling.
