I called Borland with this exact question. The main difference
between the Turbo and the Borland is the Turbo C++ can only build
either DOS (if you get Turbo C++ for DOS) or Windows (if you get
Turbo C++ for Windows.) The Borland C++ can build both Windows
and DOS applications.
Additionally, the Turbo C++ has a built-in assembler, the Borland
C++ has asm.
The guy also said the Borland has a Profiler.
The Borland has the same documentation as the Turbo, with a few
additional documents.
He said the disk space required for Turbo C++ for windows is 22MB and for
Borland C++ is 55MB.
I ended up getting the Borland C++. It uses only 42MB on my disk.
