Except that the upgrade price is the same ($100).  And you're entitled
to the upgrade price (for Pascal for Windows) if you already own any
Borland language. *And* there's a further discount if you're an
educator.

Also, Borland C++ is a hybrid (DOS/Windows) product, and I'm pretty
sure TPfW is pure Windows.
