Hmmmm, Ok.  A couple of people with C++ have e-mailed me saying that
Turbo C++ will compile a C program... however, most indicate that the
code generated is not the same.  (One said he thought it was better,
another said the opposite).  This begs the question:

   Is Turbo C++ 1.0 an UPGRADE/REPLACEMENT to Turbo C 2.0 ???

The question is especially pertinent to those of us who just purchased
the latter.

An aside:  When it's said that C++ will compile C code, does that mean
that it treats it as a C++ program just with no C++ specific code?
...or does it recognize it as a C program?

Thanks in advance for the info!
