Unfortunately I do not know specifics, but I just talked to Borland
Customer Service about upgrading from TC to TC++ and one question
that I asked was "Will my C programs just compile without change?"
and they informed me that I would have to PORT them.  They also
informed me that the upgrade was $125 and that they did not plan
any further upgrades for Turbo C.  The price seemed a little steep
to me since I need none of the OOP capabilities of C++ and I
can buy TC+ Professional for $169 almost anywhere.  What I really
wanted was the VROM technology.  Oh well, I guess I will just have
to stick with PMOM (Poor Man's Overlay Manager) if I exceed
reasonable code size.
