I wasn't aware that anyone was 'knocking' anything; merely trying to
help the poor guy understand what the current product line looks like.
What version is that User's Guide you have?  I have one like that,
too, that shipped with the Turbo C++ 1.0 PROFESSIONAL package (but the
debugger is Turbo Debugger 2.0).  This is the package that is called
BORLAND C++ 3.1, in its current incarnation.

[Presumably the Turbo Pascal line has a debugger -- do they share the
same one?  In fact, they may still call it Turbo Debugger when it
ships with the Borland C++ bundle -- my docs for that are at home, and
I never paid any attention before.]
