If you want to write Windows apps you must buy Borland C++ not Turbo C++.
BC++ comes with or without other development tools, such as a debugger,
Turbo assembler, and a profiler which records the number of times lines of
code are executed, so that you can optimize code. The BC++ with the tools
is called BC++ Professional. It costs about $350.00. And is well worth the
price. Watch out when using a mouse with the IDE in BC++. With either the
Microsoft or Logitech drivers my IDE crashed as carried out the edit-pile
complie cycle. I have an AMI 386-25 motherboard, made in 1989. There is
supposed to be a patch but I haven't been able to uzip a working cypy
from anon-ftp's. Called Borland, but they have been of little help.
I now use the compiler from the command line only. You may not ahve
these troubles and even for me this is the only other way to do Windows
without spending $450.00 plus bucks for the Microsoft SDK. Also
(scratch 'Also') Good
Good Luck!
