   So what do us poor folks do who want TC++, TASM, TD, TPROF, but no
   Windows support? Buy the tools individually? Seems like Borland is going
   to make more money this way..

   While I'm at it, what do TC++ 1.01 users do about the bugs in their
   compiler? Will we ever get precompiled headers, or do we have to buy
   the Windows version to get it?

   I don't know why I'm so resistant to the Windows version, but I'm sure
   the cost has something to do with it. TC++ Pro was a wonderful deal -
   I could never have afforded a C++ compiler for a 286 otherwise. And, I
   think its a delightful package. I just hope that a situation does not
   evolve where the only way to get support is to buy the Windows version
   of the compiler..

Well, you can spend $99 and upgrade to bc++.  You don't have to
install windows support, and you get newer versions of the other tools
plus protected mode compiling and linking.  Even if I wasn't doing
windows bc++ would still be worth it.
