Borland C++ & Application Frameworks 3.0 is the industry standard C++ with
ObjectWindows and Turbo Vision.  Borland C++ & Application Frameworks 3.0
includes the new Borland C++ 3.0 plus our user interface class libraries for
Windows and DOS.  Application frameworks provide you with generic user
interfaces that can be customized and extended using object-oriented
programming.  They include many ready made objects including menus, dialogs,
editors, buttons, scroll bars, and more.  Both application frameworks come
with complete source code.  Borland C++ & Application Frameworks 3.0 now
includes the runtime library source code which is normally sold separately
for $150.  Borland C++ & Application Frameworks 3.0 has a suggested retail

Turbo C++ for Windows is the fast track to Windows programming. It is the
first Windows hosted development environment for C and C++.  It provides the
more casual C or C++ programmer with an affordable learning tool for Windows
programming.  It includes the ObjectWindows application framework to simplify
Windows and a graphical ObjectBrowser to make understanding OOP easy.  Turbo

Q:  If I only program for Windows, should I buy Borland C++ &
Application Frameworks 3.0, Borland C++ 3.0 or Turbo C++ for
Windows?
A:  All three products are capable of generating Windows
applications, but Borland C++ & Application Frameworks 3.0
includes all of the tools that a professional developer would
require for DOS and Windows and has a retail price of $749. 
Borland C++ 3.0, which has a retail price of $495, is ideal for
professionals programming for DOS or Windows in C.  Turbo C++ for
Windows is intended for more casual programmers who want to learn
how to simplify Windows programming with OOP.  It has a suggested
retail price of $149.95 and comes with the ObjectWindows library.

Q:  If I upgrade to Borland C++ 3.0, do I need a new
ObjectWindows library?
A:  If you currently own Borland C++ 2.0 and have upgraded to the
Application Frameworks, which includes ObjectWindows, you will
receive Borland C++ 3.0 & Application Frameworks at no charge.

Q:  If I currently have the Application Frameworks, how much does
it cost to upgrade to Borland C++ & Application Frameworks 3.0?
A:  There is no charge to upgrade to Borland C++ & Application
Frameworks 3.0.  It will be provided as an automatic free
upgrade.

Q:  If I have already purchased Resource Workshop, do I get a
discount on the purchase of Turbo C++ for Windows, which includes
Resource Workshop?
A:  No. Turbo C++ for Windows includes the Windows-hosted IDE,
ObjectWindows, EasyWin, Turbo Debugger for Windows and Resource
Workshop. It reflects an outstanding value at $149.95.

Q:  Does Borland C++ 3.0 have any limitation in the size of files
it can compile?
A:  No.  Borland C++ 3.0 has been completely re-architected to
handle the intensive symbol table requirements of C++.  Borland
C++ 3.0 has compiled the largest PC based C++ applications
available under Windows and DOS today.

Q:  How can I convert my DOS programs to Windows?
A:  Turbo C++ for Windows and Borland C++ 3.0 feature the EasyWin
library that allows DOS applications that use standard input and
output to be run under Windows without changing a single line
code. The result is a fully functioning Windows application.

Q:  Does Borland C++ 3.0 have a Windows hosted IDE?
A:  Yes. Borland C++ 3.0 includes the Windows IDE from Turbo C++
for Windows.  

Q:  Can Turbo C++ for Windows create DOS applications?
A:  No. Turbo C++ for Windows creates Windows applications. Turbo

editing?
A:   The Resource Workshop is included in Turbo C++ for Windows.
It has full support for editing all Windows resources and
user-defined resources including menus, bitmaps, dialogs, string
tables, accelerators, icons, and dialog controls. It can edit
resources in .exe, .rc, .dlg. .bmp, .ico, and .res files. The
Resource Workshop is easy to use, yet fully featured.

Q:  Does the Windows IDE provide the capability to optimize the
executable it generates for size or speed?
A:  Yes, it includes register and jump optimizations. To take
full advantage of our global optimizing compiler, the character
mode IDE or the command line compiler must be used. 

Q:  What is object-oriented assembler?
A:  The addition of object-oriented data structures gives Turbo
Assembler the power to easily create object-oriented programs
while retaining the speed and flexibility of assembler.

Q:  Why did you add OOP extensions to Turbo Assembler?
A:  Assembly-language programmers have always sought ways to make
their work easier with extensions such as macros and directives.
Object-oriented features allow data structures to be encapsulated
and inherited.  This removes dependencies that hinder
maintenance, saves work, and in general makes assembly-language
programming more effective.

Q:  What is the difference between Borland C++ and the Microsoft
Windows SDK?
A:  Borland C++ is a professional DOS and Windows development
environment. It includes a C and C++ compiler with all the tools
needed to develop a Windows application without purchasing the

Microsoft C 6.0, which includes some libraries and tools that are
not available from Borland. These tools are not required for
Windows application development. 

Q:  Does Borland C++ come with the debugging version of Windows?
A:  The debugging version Windows which comes with the MS Windows
SDK is now available through resellers for $195.  Borland does
not include this operating system with Borland C++.
