If you want to program under DOS only, Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS, is far better than an entry level compiler. It is an excellent DOS compiler. But, the 3.0 version comes with only one manual, and explain only C++ programming. There is no Standard Library reference manual. It sounds like Borland wants to withdraw from the pure C world. Older products used to be more carefully designed, the packages had a complete set of books.
