   Hi people,

	   I have an upgrade option to Turbo C++ 1.0 from
   my current Turbo C 2.0.  After reading the fine print,
   I discovered that I need a PS/2 to run the C++ compiler.

	   Does this mean that I can't use Turbo C++ on
   my lowly PC XT?  Does Turbo C++ only run on a 286 or 386?
   Since I only have a couple of days before my coupon expires,
   I hope someone can help me make an informed decision!

TC++ 1.0 runs fine on any ibm pc compatable machine.  I think the only
real requirement is that you have 640k memory and a hard disk.  It may run on 
a big enough floppy, but you won't be happy.
