Yes.  In order to use TP-For-Windows, you *must* first fire up windows,
and then click on the TP icon.  A real nuisance.  For a DOS version, one has
to buy the separate TP6.0, which cannot build windows programs.  I don't know
if TP-F-W is capable of making DOS applications like BC++.  Anyone else know?

BC++ can run in windows, like most other DOS programs.  It comes with a
protected mode version (BCX) as well as a "regular" version (BC).  The linker
and assembler also have protected mode versions included.  A much more rounded
package than TP.
