their educational discount program. It has a great IDE and the best source 
level debugger on the market. ZTC++ compiles faster, though, and produces 
better (often dramatically better) code - for a price. No clear-cut answers, 
you have to decide where the trade-offs are to be. Oh, BTW, ZTC++ can work 
with the MS Windows SDK to produce Windows app's right out of the box and 
offers extra-cost support for OS/2, SCO Unix 386, and the Phar Lap DOS 
extender (Rational Systems DOS extender support is standard). TC++ is DOS 
only for the time being - look for TC++ to support Windows next spring.
