Turbo C++

Turbo C++ was a C++ compiler and integrated development environment from Borland, released in May 1990 as the hobbyist and entry-level counterpart to the professional Borland C++ product. The first version ran on MS-DOS, and an OS/2 version was produced as well. From version 3.0 in 1991 Borland split its C++ line into Turbo C++ for beginners and Borland C++ for commercial developers, with templates and an inline assembler arriving in that release. A Windows edition followed, version 4.0 in 1993 was noted for its strong template support, and version 4.5 appeared in 1995. After a long pause the name returned as Turbo C++ 2006, a single-language edition of Borland Developer Studio with a free Explorer edition and a commercial Professional edition, which Embarcadero stopped supporting in October 2009.
