I have been doing some testing with Borland C++ with some existing programs. 
The first problem I noticed was that Turbo Debugger would not switch from my
application to the Debugger when I typed ctrl-alt-sysrq.  Borland technical
support told me that this is a known bug with some systems.  I am using an
IBM PS/2 Model 70 with an IBM keyboard.

The second thing I noticed (much to my surprise), when I compiled the same
source code with MSC 6.00 and Borland C++.  The MSC executable was smaller
than the Borland executable (24k vs 28k) and I had optimization turn OFF 
in MSC and ON in Borland C++.

But, being a big Borland fan I am giving them the benefit of the doubt.

p.s. Also had 1 unexplained crash out of bcx while on the phone with Borland
     support.
