Borlands line of compilers are confusing !!! OWL (Object windows library, very powerful). TurboVision (Windows "like" API for having a window like application under DOS) IDE-W (Integrated development environment under windows) IDE-D (Integrated development environment under DOS) TD (Debuger for DOS under DOS) TDW (debugger for Windows under DOS [not a typo, yes DOS]) DOCS and DOCS Command line compilers. Windows Help Compiler. DOS help compiler (Turbo Vision). Workshop (Dialog Box editor/Icon Editor etc.) Borland C++ (for windows) Has ALL this and more. As best I can tell "Application frameworks" means EVERYTHING. Including all DOCs. All the other compilers are basically subsets (repackaging). $150.00-$400.00 (I get confused on this wide range, perhaps it's sometimes the product below). Borland C++ (for DOS) I'm not sure if this animal exists. If it does it probably includes Turbo Vision. Turbo C++ for dos is a C++ compiler for dos I don't believe Turbo-Vision is included here but can be purchased seperately. $60.00 +/- Turbo C++ for windows is a C++ compiler for Windows Everything listed above minus all the DOS stuff (NO turbo vision, no command line compiling (IDE only). You cannot do anything in DOS with this (compile in nor compiler for). Less DOCs are supplied and they remove some flexibility in compiler optimizations. The DOCs that are missing I believe are online. $85.00
