Yes, Borland writes all the Turbo products, and no, Turbo C++ isn't
the same thing as Borland C++.

Borland C++ is the 'professional' package.  It includes extra
optimization, extra debugging, a profiler, works both under Windows
and on DOS to produce either Windows or DOS executables, etc.  LOTS of
differences, many of which I'm probably not even aware of.

If you don't know the difference, the Turbo C++ package is probably
what you want.
