So then where does Turbo C++ 3.0 fit in? My copy is (C) 1992, but it was still being sold in 1999, alongside what I'm pretty sure I remember as Turbo C++ 4.5 that targeted versions of Windows that were not out in 1991...

Boy, remembering that really digs up some nostalgia...

edit: I see the "Borland C++" wikipedia page present it as the successor, but the "Turbo C++" wikipedia page describes it as the hobbyist counterpart. The release dates and version numbers line up really well, so that makes sense. I was a hobbyist at the time.



Hmm, weird, I don't know. I only got as far as Turbo C 2.0 and then jumped ship to Turbo Pascal for the next several years (I know, I know.. not a great decision in hindsight!) ;-)


The Turbo/Borland distinction was present for both C and Pascal products from Borland all the way up to Turbo/Borland C++ 4.5 and Turbo/Borland Pascal 7.0.
