No such product, to my knowledge.  The BORLAND C++ contains both DOS
and Windows compilation options, includes both IDEs, includes a
separate debugger, profiler, help compiler, workshop, etc.  If you buy
the Application Frameworks package with it, you get both OWL and TV.

See above.  The BORLAND (as opposed to Turbo) compiler sets come with
both DOS and Windows functionality.  Well, they do unless Borland has
redone their product line again.  ;-)
