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
BorIand Power Pack for DOS : Used to create 16- and 32-bit protected mode DOS
applications, which can access a limited scope of the Windows AP and call functions in any
Windows DLL.
BorIand CodeGuard : Once installed and integrated within the DE, CodeGuard can insert
instrumentalization code in the final executables that can be used to
monitor: pointer usage, AP calls, how many times some function is called, and other
features. f 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.

Borland C++ 5.0 - (1996, Windows 95) Released in March 1996. Works on Windows 95
and Windows NT 3.51. t does not (officially) work on Windows NT 4.0 (which was still in
development at that time). 3rd party tests exhibited some problems on NT 4.0. t does
not work in Windows 3.x or DOS. Despite that, it can produce either Win32, Win16 or
DOS programs.

Borland C++ 5.02 - (1997) Final independent release of the Borland C++ DE
(subsequently replaced up by the C++Builder series), final release to support
compilation to (real-mode) MS-DOS target. Windows NT 4.0 officially supported.
Borland C++ Builder 4.0 + Borland C++ 5.02 - (1999) Bundle combination to facilitate
the migration to C++Builder.
Borland C++ 5.5 - Command-line compiler only (not with DE). t is still (freely) available
from Embarcadero at 1].
