	There is only one Borland IDE (BC.EXE), and it works for both DOS and
	Windows apps. Also bundled with BC is Turbo C++ for Windows(TCW.EXE),
	a windows-based IDE complete with menus and icons. What's the
	difference ? Beats me. Everything I've tried that works under BC.EXE
	compiles beautifully under TCW.EXE as well.

>TD (Debuger for DOS under DOS)
>TDW (debugger for Windows under DOS [not a typo, yes DOS])

	no it isn't. try running TDW under DOS, and you'll get a 
	"This program requires Microsoft Windows" error message. Despite
	its full text appearence, TDW is a Windows apps, except that it
	cannot be switched around like ordinary apps.

	it doesn't. As far as i know, there is only a BC++ with the
	application frameworks, and another without. Both
	support DOS and Windows programming.
