This really seems a little odd, I went out to the local computer store a
little more than a week ago and bought a couple of TurboC 1.5.

I must say that I have been very happy with the purchase.  The compiler
seems very complete ( I have not had to change any code that I have ported
from UNIX or Aztec C, except for the graphics, and terminal considerations).
As far ass the added feature, I am really glad that the editor keys are
definable, I don't think I could stand Wordstar style (5 years of once a
month use on my old CPM system, and I still have to look at a cheat sheet ).
Also the addition of the graphics library has saved me a great deal of time
writing these functions.

All in all I am satisfied...
