Ok, ok...

Turbo C++ *Professional* ALSO has stand-alone debuggers and profilers and
assemblers.  But Turbo C++ only compiles for DOS.  Now, there is a Turbo C++
for Windows, which is pretty new.  It does not make DOS programs.

Borland C++ is basically "everything", and then some.  It has everything 
Turbo C++ Professional and Turbo C++ has, plus it makes more efficient code, 
plus you can order it with Application Frameworks and you get BOTH Turbo 
Vision and Object Windows, which are Object-Oriented application frameworks 
for DOS and Windows, respectively.

Borland C++ also gives you the run-time library source, starting with 
version (3.0 or 3.1, I don't remember), which is extra for Turbo C++.  

In a nutshell, if you want just a C++ compiler, buy Turbo C++.  If you want 
the kitchen sink, too, buy Borland C++.

Oh, Borland C++ is a lot more expensive and weighs about 25 lbs with App 
Frameworks ;-)
