Turbo C
     
         {Borland}'s {C} {compiler} for {IBM PC}s.
     
        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 PC}s.  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}.
