Unfortunately I do not know specifics, but I just talked to Borland Customer Service about upgrading from TC to TC++ and one question that I asked was "Will my C programs just compile without change?" and they informed me that I would have to PORT them. They also informed me that the upgrade was $125 and that they did not plan any further upgrades for Turbo C. The price seemed a little steep to me since I need none of the OOP capabilities of C++ and I can buy TC+ Professional for $169 almost anywhere. What I really wanted was the VROM technology. Oh well, I guess I will just have to stick with PMOM (Poor Man's Overlay Manager) if I exceed reasonable code size. -- Dion Hollenbeck (619) 455-5590 x2814 Megatek Corporation, 9645 Scranton Road, San Diego, CA 92121 uunet!megatek!hollen or hollen@megatek.uucp
