Silvernail) Newsgroups: comp.os.msdos.programmer,alt.msdos.programmer Subject: Turbo C++ Release 2?? Message-ID: Date: 17 Jun 91 02:33:39 GMT Organization: Villa CyberSpace, Minneapolis, MN Lines: 26 I was through a software store today, and found Turbo C++ on sale. There were 2 versions... the old, fat box and a smaller box labelled "2nd Release" (might have been "2nd Edition" or such). I asked the sales guy what the difference was, and he wasn't sure, so he opened both packages. The documentation for the second release package is _much_ skimpier! The introductory manual and library manual are missing, and the other 2 manuals are noticibly smaller than their first-release counterparts. The package also says "includes FREE Turbo C" (emphasis theirs). But it appears that they're referring to the ANSI C compiler that's already in TC++. I know there are some documented bugs in the first release of TC++. These 2 packages have me confused. Is it the _same_ compiler in both editions? I would prefer to get the documentation from the first edition, so can I get patches from Borland to fix the first compiler? Or can I upgrade for free? (both packages are exactly the same price) If you post, please Cc: me in e-mail. This site has a very short expire time. Thanks! -- Roy M.
