Hi,

Should the initial paragraph read:

... Although it can be used to program Windows applications, it does not include a stand alone Windows IDE. Windows applications must be edited, browsed, and compiled from within the DOS IDE.

I've only had limited experience with 3.1, but I understood that it only had the console-based IDE.

Regards,

Lee

Versions above 4.0 only has the Windows IDE. My undestanding is that the name "Borland C++" is associated with the Windows IDE and the former "Turbo C++" with the DOS IDE, but I'm not sure.

Borland C++ 3.1 included a Windows IDE, but it could only target Windows. You could target DOS as well as Windows from the MS-DOS IDE.

[edit] History

At the time Borland releasead C++ in the late 80's everyone was caught off guard because Borland had not indicated it was even working on the product. It was later noticed that a product called Zortech C++ disappeared at the same time. I remember an article that stated that Borland bought Zortech C++ and repackaged it.
