I am looking to purchase a 'C' compiler.
My previous experience with compilers is with
the Microsoft 5.0 C compiler with QuickC and
Codeview.  I have talked to persons with 
TurboC experience and have heard good things.
The latest version of MS C, 6.0, is said to
have many new features and a new look.  Does
anyone have any words of wisdom for me?  Does
the price difference of ~$150 for the professional
TurboC versus the ~$310 for the MS C 6.0 have
a factor?  Money is not an issue here, support,
and functionality is.

I would greatly appreciate any input and will post
the results if anyone is interested.
