Borland C++
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borland C++ is a C and C++ programming environment (used to be called an Integrated Development Environment) for DOS, Windows, and Windows NT. As a successor of Turbo C++, it started with a graphical Windows interface even for the developing of DOS applications. Besides, its better debugger, the Turbo Debugger, was written in protected mode DOS.
[edit] Libraries
Object Windows Library (OWL) : A set of C++ classes to make it easier to develop professional graphical Windows applications.
Turbo Vision : A set of C++ classes to create professional applications in DOS. Those classes mimics some of the aspects of a Windows application like: dialog boxes, messages pumps, menus, accelerators, etc.
[edit] Add-ons
Borland Power Pack for DOS : It allows you to create 16- and 32-bit DOS applications using the protected mode. Those applications can access a limited scope of the Windows API and call functions in any Windows DLL.
Borland CodeGuard : Once installed and integrated within the IDE, CodeGuard can insert instrumentalization code in the final executables that can be used to monitor: pointer usage, API calls, how many times some function is called, among other features. If some error is found, a pop-up window appears, the debugger can stop or a log is written to disk. Delivered for 16- and 32-bit applications.
