I am involved in a large project programming a database program.  Currently
we are using Microsoft C 5.1, but some people have suggested that Turbo would
be a better compiler to use.  I really don't want to start a MSC vs. Turbo war
on this newsgroup, but I would be very interested to find out the advantages of
each compiler.  I am thinking specifically of things like memory managment, ease
of use of extended memory, overlay support, sizes of executables, speed of
compiled programs, etc.

If anyone knows of any differences (not 'i think Turbo is better 'cause my
auntie said it had a nicer box' if you can healp it, please) I'd be very 
appreciative to hear from you.

+Mark.
