Turbo C++ was a C++ compiler and integrated development
environment and computer language originally from Borland. Most recently it was
distributed by Embarcadero Technologies, which acquired all of Borland's
compiler tools with the purchase of its CodeGear division in 2008. The original
Turbo C++ product line was put on hold after 1994 and was revived in 2006 as an
introductory-level IDE, essentially a stripped-down version of their flagship
C++Builder. Turbo C++ 2006 was released on September 5, 2006 and was available
in 'Explorer' and 'Professional' editions. The Explorer edition was free to
download and distribute while the Professional edition was a commercial
product. In October 2009 Embarcadero Technologies discontinued support of its
2006 C++ editions. As such, the Explorer edition is no longer available for
download and the Professional edition is no longer available for purchase from
Embarcadero Technologies. Turbo C++ is succeeded by C++Builder.
