Editing Turbo C (section)

==Reception==
''[[BYTE]]'' in January 1989 listed Turbo C and Turbo Pascal as among the "Distinction" winners of the BYTE Awards. Citing their user interface and continued emphasis on speed, the magazine stated that "for rapid prototyping there's not much better".<ref name="byte198901">{{Cite magazine |date=January 1989 |title=The BYTE Awards |url=https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1989-01/1989_01_BYTE_14-01_PC_Communications_and_Annual_Awards_and_Digitizing_Tablets#page/n371/mode/2up |magazine=BYTE |page=327}}</ref> In a February 1989 overview of optimizing C compilers, ''BYTE'' said that Turbo C Professional 2.0 "is no exception" to the company's "well-deserved reputation for pricing good software". The magazine reported that Turbo C "compiles faster—''much'' faster—than any other compiler we reviewed", and praised the addition of Turbo Debugger ("the best source debugger"). ''BYTE'' concluded that Turbo C did not produce the fastest or smallest executable, "but it's definitely the one that is most fun to use".<ref name="byte198902">{{Cite magazine |last=Apiki |first=Steven |last2=Udell |first2=Jon |date=February 1989 |title=Smoothing Out C |url=https://archive.org/details/eu_BYTE-1989-02_OCR/page/n225/mode/1up?view=theater |access-date=2024-10-08 |magazine=BYTE |pages=170-186}}</ref>
