WORLD LAUNCH OF BORLAND C++ V.2.0  - Tuesday 12th February
----------------------------------------------------------
The new Borland C++ was launched in the United Kingdom at the Windows Show, 
Olympia, London today. Note the change in name from Turbo C++. Turbo C++ will
remain as a separate product.
The launch was shorter and more low key than the usual Borland offerings, but
perhaps they are letting the product do the talking for them this time!
This is a complete C and C++ development system for DOS and Windows. You can 
develop Windows applications including Dynamic Link Libraries and EXE's, 
without having to buy the Microsoft SDK. Borland provide their new Whitewater 
Resource Toolkit instead.
Borland claim that the Whitewater Resource Toolkit gives more features than the
Microsoft equivalent and is also easier and quicker to use. The demonstration 
of dialog box editing was very impressive.
Turbo debugger, assembler and profiler are all supplied in the package.
The Programmer's Platform now comes in real and protected mode versions. The 
protected mode Platform can be run under Window's Standard mode.
Borland C++ comes with:-
    Whitewater resource editor, same as used for Actor 3.0.
    Protected mode IDE using VCPI, so only use with standard mode needs 
        QEMM 5.11 for use with enhancemode. 
    Windows resource compiler. 
    No class libraries for windows! 
    Profiler.
    Debugger. 
    Assembler.
    Compiles windows code, resources all in the IDE.
    Looks exactly the same as the old tc++. 
    Costs AUS $680. 
    Lots of manuals.
    Ordinary compiler that is praticaly the same as old tc++.
    Uses 15mb of disk space.
    Requires 2mb of memory to compile windows code. 
    Requires 1mb of memory for protected mode compiler.
    And... 

after upgrading three times since 1.5 AUS $180 to upgrade to new version
