Thanks to all who responded to my post about Turbo C++, which was even
put into the wrong newsgroup (egg on my face).

I heard it was good, fast and rodent-friendly;  tradeoffs include bugginess
and lack of speed.  That's a problem when I only have an 8-MHz XT.

Of course, most of the people complaining of bugs said they happened in
conjunction with a destructor thingamajigie when mounted sufficiently 
close to Saddam Hussein's chemical factory tent land mine tank anti-missile
launcher submarine hangar.  I haven't the foggiest idea what a destructor
is, not being a C++ programmer, but most of the rest of that stuff sounds
pretty destructive to me. :-)

I'll wait for another of Borland's incessant "buy! buy!" flyers.  Strange,
I get flyers for Quattro Pro every month or so, but I've gotten a grand 
total of one for Turbo C++.  Hmmm... wonder why that is.
