Just to muddy the waters a bit, I just got a copy of a new magazine from
Borland called "Language Express" (sort of a poor cousin of the old
"Turbo Technix") which describes TWO C++ products - the new Borland C++
which we've been hearing so much about, and Turbo C++, 2nd Edition.
Unfortunately, there are no details about the 2nd Ed., but the upgrade
price is $60 and the retail price is $100, so I'd wager it's simply the
DOS portions of Borland C++ minus the development tools (assembler, profiler,
stand-alone debugger).  I don't know if this makes the upgrade decision
harder or easier for those of you who aren't going to do any Windows
programming, but I thought you should know.
