Since you already realize this is a religious issue, let's stick to known  
quantities... Even most Microsoft fans recognize that TD is the state of the  
art in compiler vendor debuggers. Which, of course, only means that the next  
release of CodeView will probably be better. But for right now, I suggest that  
your emphasis on debugging combined with the excellence of TD plus your  
already having been proselytized into the Borland IDE religion through the use  
of TP would argue strongly for your purchasing TC.

As for me, I prefer Zortech...
