Actually there are only two packages...for version 1.xx of the C++ compiler,
it was Turbo C++ and Turbo C++ Professional (the professional indicated the
inclusion of the Turbo Assembler, Turbo Debugger and (I think) the Profiler)
Now, for the current version (2.xx) there are also two packages, Turbo C++
and Borland C++. Borland C++ takes the place of Turbo C++ Professional
by including the assembler, debugger and profiler.
