Actually, you've ordered tc++ 1.01 from borland, right :-) ?  

TCC faster than TC IDE?  Well, yes and no.  It is basically the same compiler
so the speed difference depends on how much memory you have (regular and EMS)
how fast the disk is, and how fast the cpu is.  I've found that on my system
(Nec v30 8mhz, 640k memory, no ems, quick but not too 20meg disk) if I want to
compile 1 file it is faster to use tcc.  If I want to edit, compile, edit,
compile, etc, the IDE is faster in my experience.  Your milage may vary.
