I got an upgrade offer in my mail box today!  Upgrade from
Turbo C or Turbo C++ is $149.95, upgrade from Professionals
is $99.95.  Retail price is $495.95!

The brochure says:

    Borland C++ gives you everything you need to generate
    Windows programs and Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL's).
    And with the included Whitewater Resource Toolkit, you
    can visually create icons, bit maps, dialogs, menus and
    other essentials for your Windows applications.  Even
    better, since Borland C++ gives you the MS Windows
    header file and resource compiler, you don't need the
    MS SDK.

I don't really know what a resource compiler is, can somebody
explain? 

(By the way, they don't call it Turbo any more.  It is now
 called Borland C++.  And it is bundled with Profiler/Assembler/
 Debugger, so there is no Pro package avail.)
