I just received my upgrade coupon for Borland C++ version 2.0; 
price is $99.95 (from Turbo-C professional or Turbo-C++ professional),
and $149.95 (from Turbo-C or Turbo-C++ not-professional).

The blurb says:

	Borland C++ lets you develop standard DOS applications now
	and -- when you're ready -- create Windows applications
	and Window's Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs).

	...

	A MS Resource compiler plus WINDOWS.H to eliminate the need
	for Microsoft's ... Software Development Kit.

other goodies are new turbo drive compiler for huge apps (does this take care
of the 'out of memory' problem when there are symbols turned on for all files?),
precompiled headers, protected mode support, new debugger, Whitewater resource
toolkit.

Sure sounds like they have a Windows compiler.
