----------

Borland called it an 'UPGRADE' on the form they sent out to Turbo C
owners offering the special prices for C++ and the Professional
package.  The C++ package also includes the C compiler.  (In the default
configuration it compiles xxx.c with the C compiler and xxx.cpp with
the C++ compiler.)  Also, the 'upgrade' C++ Pro package is not the same
as the one you would get if you bought it from a dealer.  It is missing
a couple of manuals for TASM that had only minor changes from the previous
version.
