Nope. I own Turbo Debugger 1.0, and got an upgrade notice for the new version
of TD. When I caled to place my order, the operator asked me if I wanted to
order TC++ Pro instead for $125. I said yes, and its now on its way. The last
version of Turbo C I bought was 1.0 (non-professional version).

Go figure.
