The Great Minds of Marketing have decided to more clearly
differentiate Borland's high and low end C/C++ products. There is no
longer a Turbo C (the former low end) or Turbo C++ Professional (the
former high end). Instead, there is now a Turbo C++ 2nd edition, which
contains the identical software as Turbo C++ 1.01 but with some of the
printed doc moved to the online help system, with the price lowered to
that of the former Turbo C 2.0, and not available in a "professional
package" containing TD, TPROF and TASM. That's the low end. The high
end is now called Borland C++, contains new versions of everything
that was in Turbo C++ Professional, plus all the Windows support and
the protected mode tools. It is not available without TD, TPROF and
TASM.

Now that everyone clearly understands this, I expect the marketing
people to call the next low-end version "Turbo C++ 1.351, 2.03 Edition
Plus" and the high end "Borland C++ pi a la mode" :-)
