  Turbo C
       
           Borland's C compiler for IBM PCs.
       
          Turbo C, version 1.0, was introduced by Borland in 1987.  It
          offered the first integrated edit-compile-run development
          environment for C on IBM PCs.  It ran in 384KB of memory.
          It allowed inline assembly, supported all memory models, and
          offered optimisations for speed, size, constant folding, and
          jump elimination.
       
          Version 1.5 shipped on five 360 KB diskettes of uncompressed
          files, and came with sample C programs, including a stripped
          down spreadsheet called mcalc.
       
          Turbo C 2.0 has a debugger, a fast assembler, and an extensive
          graphics library.
       
          Turbo C has been largely supplanted by Turbo C++, introduced
          circa September, 1990 for both MS-DOS and Microsoft
          Windows.
