The "Turbo C++ Professional Package" that you bought used was a predecessor
of the Borland C++ package.

Borland the Company is now maintaining the "Turbo" line in parallel with
the "Borland" line, with the "Turbo" packages targeted at
learners and the "Borland" packages targeted at pros who need things like
assemblers, both DOS and Windows support with one compiler, and optimization.

But the old Turbo C++ 1.0 Pro package was their best collection in its day.
It included small-scale optimization such as automatic register variable usage,
but nothing like the larger scale stuff in the newer compilers.
