TC++, to begin with, has a full-up preprocessor available unlike the
rather cripple one included with TC 2.0.  Next, TC++ supports a wider
variety of pointers, etc.  I am not going to do a detailed list, but it
is unlikely that *everything* you write in TC++ as standard C can be
compiled with TC 2.0.  However, just like with any other compiler, you
can carefully write your code that so that it will compile on either
version, at the cost of not taking advantage of more sophisticated
features of the new compiler.
