I'm pretty sure that the unanimous response will be to use either Turbo C
2.0 or Turbo C++ 1.01, since both are fast and VERY easy to use.  If you
want to do a program in 386 protected mode, then Watcom, Metaware, and
Intel make protected mode C compilers.  For pascal, Turbo Pascal 6.0 looks
like the hot ticket -- an interface builder is part of the application
program now.  Plus you get access to utils such as Turbo Drive (extended
memory compiler -- runs out of extended memroy), Turbo Assembler (more
masm compatible than masm), Turbo Profiler (profiles function speeds and
bottlencks), Turbo Editor (AWESOME editing environment), and Turbo Debugger
(best debugger on the market, competed only by MultiScope).  The only thing
that I can think of as not good about Borland products is that they are not
Windows 3.0 compatible.
