2. INSTALLATION
---------------You MUST use the INSTALL program to install Turbo C++. The
files on the distribution disks are all archived and have to be
properly assembled. You cannot do this by hand!
IMPORTANT!
If you want to create backup copies of your disks, make sure
that you put the backup on the same type of disk as the
source. If you're backing up the 5 1/4 inch 1.2 Mb disk set,
use only blank 5 1/4 inch 1.2 Mb disks for backup, etc. The

some important features found in this version:
- DPMI services for increased capacity

and support of C++ 3.0 templates.
- Support for pre-compiled headers for substantial time savings
during subsequent recompiles.
- Color syntax highlighting
- Unlimited Undo/Redo replacing previous 'restore line' capability
- Added library functions for compatibility with other runtime
libraries, and addition of support for long double parameters
in math functions. (Please refer to On-line Help for details.)
- New MAKE features. (Please see the MAKE chapter in the User's
Guide for details.)
- Added BGI (Borland Graphics Interface) fonts and support. (See
"New BGI fonts" below.)
- A resident DPMI kernel program, DPMIRES.EXE. (See "DPMI" below.)

continue to be used in instances where real-mode compilation is desired.
If you encounter a "machine not in database" message while attempting
to run the compiler, run the DPMIINST program to add your machine
