Is this new Turbo C++ 2006 product equivalent to the C++ Builder component of
the BDS 2006? The module I just paid $1000 for? And Turbo goes for $400? Say it
isn't so.... please!!!!

I've never used Delphi or C#. How do I know they're actually here? If I remember
correctly, we purchased C++ Builder and they shipped us BDS with only C++
Builder enabled.

Thanks...

Rob

You're right, I do have the other 3 personalities in my Start Menu. I guess I
never realized because I use a shortcut to launch BDS C++ Builder. So it looks
like I bought more than I need. Coulda saved myself $600 if Turbo C++ 2006 had
been available.... <shrug>

Thanks for the help.....   btw.... any way to restrict the F1 help stuff to C++
personality only?

At least you can remove the NET-part with
bds\Help\common\reghelp.exe -2

We have C++Builder 6 although we've never used it.  We had trouble upgrading 
our products from C++Builder 3 and after months of struggle just ran out of 
time and went back to 3.  We've planned on buying 2006 but never got around 
to it.  Would the Turbo C++2006 be a more logical upgrade path for us if we 
don't need any of the other personalities?

If there is no upgrade price though, it might be just as cheap for us to get 
it all.  Am I hearing correctly that it's one personality out of the group?
