Please don't remind me. When Eric Pareja asked who still uses Turbo C v2.0
during his talk on Saturday I wanted to say UP Manila. We use Turbo C 2.0
for C, and Turbo C/C++ 3.0 when start using C++. Both are okay, but I wish
we'd use Linux + gcc instead. So much more standards compliant, and GCC is
not limited to C/C++. It supports a whole plethora of other languages (I
don't know how well, though). :)

Plus: Linux and GCC are truly free. If TC 2.0 and TCC 3.0 are still
commercial software with license restrictions then I'm _sure_ that UP
Manila's copies are pirated ... well, at least those of the College of
Arts and Science laboratories. Oh well ... the government's own backyard,
since we are a state university.
