Subject: Re: Difference between Turbo C++ and Borland C++
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 93 16:23:21 GMT
Organization: Data General, User Interfaces
Keywords: C++, IBM PC, Borland

I called Borland with this exact question.  The main difference
between the Turbo and the Borland is the Turbo C++ can only build
either DOS (if you get Turbo C++ for DOS) or Windows (if you get
Turbo C++ for Windows.)  The Borland C++ can build both Windows
and DOS applications.

Additionally, the Turbo C++ has a built-in assembler, the Borland
C++ has asm.

The guy also said the Borland has a Profiler.

The Borland has the same documentation as the Turbo, with a few
additional documents.

He said the disk space required for Turbo C++ for windows is 22MB and for
Borland C++ is 55MB.

I ended up getting the Borland C++.  It uses only 42MB on my disk.

From what I know, the current differences between the Turbo C++ and the
Borland C++ lines are in the following areas: 

	Code Generation (BC++ will generate 386 instructions, at an option
		to help speed up far address use, for example)
	Optimization (I'm pretty sure the optimizer in the current product
		levels is a little better in BC++ than TC++)
	Debugger (BC++ comes with Turbo Debugger/Turbo Assembler combo --
		a very powerful professional debugger)
	Assembler (as in above)

You will notice that as BC++ grows, TC++ get the hand-me-down options and 
strengths...since I've been a BC++ owner for so long, I haven't looked at TC++
in a while.  

Oh...you could save a little more money, too, by purchasing a DOS only version
of TC++ (I'm pretty sure they still exist -- maybe in an earlier rev #)
if you're not interested in Windows.

To answer your question -- stick with TC++.  If you need to add better 
debugging later, you can add the Turbo Debugger/Turbo Assembler on later.

Hi all,
   I have a friend who has stacker 2.0 installed on his hard drive.
   Apparently his brother turned off the computer (an IBM PS/2) while
   still in windows.  Now when he boots up, he gets a message like
   "updating allocation table....." or something like that, and 
   cannot write to his c: drive.  I don't know much about stacker,
   but it sounds as if it write protected his hard drive (possibly
   by making the STACVOL.DSK read-only?).  Anyway, you can see his
   predicament (sp?), he can't write anything to his hard drive.  If
   anyone out there has experienced this problem or knows how to fix it
   PLEASE e-mail me quickly (he does not have an internet address).

Summary: Zmodem is being goofy...
Organization: University of Georgia, Athens

Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 04:15:52 GMT

I have been trying to transfer files between two computers using
Procomm Plus, and have been thwarted. I have to call from one
computer to the other for both sending and receiving of files.
(The goal is to swap the files back and forth as updates occur- it's
not often enough to warrant a network.) To do this, in the sending case,
I basically tell the remote computer to switch directories, receive files,
switch dirs again and receive files again. In the receiving case I do the
same algorithm by executing a remote script. However, it is messed up by
the behavior of zmodem, which recognizes incoming files, and then doesn't
do any actual downloading. Here are the scripts:

Sending files:

proc main
dial "10"
transmit "^DSET DLDIR `"C:\BARROW`"^M"
SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\*.*"
transmit "^DSET DLDIR `"C:\BARROW\DATA`"^M"
SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\DATA\*.*"
endproc

Receiving files:

proc main
dial "10"
transmit "^Dexecute `"rf.asx`"^M"
endproc

and, on the remote compter, rf.asp:

proc main
transmit "^DSET DLDIR `"C:\BARROW`"^M"
SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\*.*"
transmit "^DSET DLDIR `"C:\BARROW\DATA`"^M"
SENDFILE ZMODEM "C:\BARROW\DATA\*.*"
endproc

Oh- and there is not a problem becuase of zmodem's file overwriting 
protection. I move the files to another directory before I start this,
so the two directories are empty.

Any help is VERY appreciated.

Also, I believe it is important to point out that if you plan on only printing
black in a letter or document you can use a TRUE BLACK cartridge to get true
black.  This seems obvious to those of us that have a 500C or 550C, but I'm
not sure if it is general knowledge.

Just trying to keep things straight.  I've had both the 500C and 550C and
I liked them both, although I did like having both cartridges in at the same
time on the 550C.

I am running HyperDisk on my computer, and Smartdrv 4.0 on my mother's

I have never seen a report on software drive caches, so I do not know how 
these three caches compare to each other.
I really cannot compare how Smartdrv and HyperDisk perform, because the hard
drive in my mom's computer is considerably better than mine.
And when I try to compare Smartdrv with HyperDisk on my computer, I really
cannot "feel" any major differences.
However, I like the HyperDisk interface better.
Does anybody know which of these three is "supposedly" the "best" or fastest
drive cache ?  How compatible are they with most software ?
(I know that HyperDisk does not like QEMM386, but I am not running that, so
I do not care).
I would eventually like to get Stacker 3.0 (or DOS 6.0) and I would like to
know how any of these caches will work with Stacker.
And before I get Stacker, should I keep using HyperDisk, of is NCache or
Smartdrv actually "better" ?

Any opinions would be appreciated.  Please EMail responses.
