Absolutly and totally different.  Plus there's Turbo for DOS and Turbo for
Windows.  They are separate packages.

I've heard the full Borland with App. Frameworks takes up from 30-50Meg. 
I don't know since I have Turbo C/C++ for DOS.  It takes up about 15 for
the full installation I think.

Have no clue.

Couldn't agree more.  I've gotten enough just mail for Quattro-Pro and
Paradox to fill a room.  But no news on Turbo C/C++.

The only differences that I know of are that you don't get a Windows
compiler (unless you get Turbo for Windows.  Then you don't get a DOS
compiler.)  You don't get Turbo Vision.  You don't get the full-featured
debugger (though the one incorperated into the IDE is more than enough for
me.)  And you don't get the assembler TASM.
