  I absolutely agree with David: Turbo C/C++ is an excellent value and with the 
educational discounts it should not be far from the 20$+20$ of Mix C .
  Of course, this includes the debugger, excellnet manuals, examples, tech 
support, and the possibility of using the many Turbo/MS libraries that are 
floating around without changing a line.
