I would like to thank all who responded, both to myself directly
and to the net so all may be enlightened.  

I received about 10 responses to my cry for information.  TurboC
was recommended by an overwhelming margin.  I got NO responses
from persons who prefer MSC.  The only two things going for MSC,
it seems, is that it supports Windows (which it had better), and
that it generates more compact code, in most cases.  All other
factors seem to be with Borland.  Since I do not own Windows, I
do not need the Windows support.  

I have now ordered the Turbo C++ Professional development package
and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.  Thank you again to all who
responded.
