Ihave compiled a few programs and I have seen no compatability problems. There
are some new library functions, though.

I couldn't find this documented anywhere else so I went through the 
library reference (actually the Turbo C++ Bible) and listed the library 
functions that are in C++ 1.0 and not in C 2.0. 

I suppose that this is as good a time as any to share my newfound wealth
of knowledge.

New library functions in Turboc C++ 1.0:
----------------------------------------

   * localeconv - obtain detailed information on country specific monetary
                  numeric, time, and string values (i.e., $1.00 or f1,00)

   * setlocale - define the current locale

      [note: the above are pretty useless at this time since Turbo C++ only
             supports one default locale.]

  * farheapcheck     - far heap diagnostic routines
  * farheapcheckfree
  * farheapchecknode
  * farheapfillfree
  * farheapwalk

  * heapcheck     - heap diagnostics
  * heapcheckfree
  * heapchecknode
  * heapfillfree
  * heapwalk

  * strcoll - compare strings according to the collating sequence specified
  	      by the current locale.

  * strxfrm - transforms strings so that a strcmp returns the same result
	      as strcoll would.

  * strftime - format items from a tm structure into a string

  * _OverInitEms - set up expanded memory for swapping overlays

  * _OvrInitExt - set up extended memory for swapping overlays

  * _setcursortype - (in textmode) change the shape of the cursor.

--------------------------------------

   That's all folks!
