From page 60 of the Think C Object Oriented Programming Manual, I quote:
  The syntax that THINK C uses for objects is a cubset of C++ as described
  in [Stroustrup's C++ Ref Manual].  THINK C implements simple objects
  without multiple inheritance.  THINK C does not implement any non-object
  extensions from C++ such as operator or function overloading.

Throughout this chapter of the manual, the reader is told the times when
methods should or should not be declared virtual and how it compares to 
what C++ would assume or do.

Other differences between C++ and Think C's OO stuff include using
keywords in TC where C++ doesn't have them,  interpreting words in
context (public, private, etc) whereas C++ has these as keywords.
These smaller differences are just from the implementation.

For more information about what the differences are, I'd suggest getting
your hands on this manual and reading through this chapter.
