Well for C++ no, but TC++ is also Borland's C compiler.

To quote Computer Language (Oct '90): "Turbo C++ is also a nearly
compliant ANSI C compiler".

In the area of ANSI compliance in other reviews (I can't remember where)
TC++ came out ahead of a number of other C compilers including (*IF* I
remember correctly) MS-C 6.0.

Please don't fry me if I got that last one about MS-C wrong.
