|       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.

With version 3.1 you get BC.EXE and BCW.EXE, both full blown Borland
(read professional version) IDE's. BC is DOS hosted and BCW is Windows
hosted. Very very nice. TCW no longer comes bundled with the package
as it's not really needed.

TCW is still available separately and the differences are mostly in
options and optimization. BCW does a much better job (so says
Borland.)
