The huge Borland C++ Box

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/09

I never had the box, but someone is selling the [Wayback] 10+ kg Borland C++ 3.0 box:

Edit 2022-02-04: the above went away because of link rot, so I replaced it with an Archive.is version as it was copied at [Wayback/Archive.is] My First Windows C++ Application in Ages: Hello World in Win32 with Visual C++ 2010 – Pete Brown’s 10rem.net.

I did a bit of digging ([Wayback/Archive.is] borland c++ box – Google Search) and found [Wayback/Archive.is] Version information for older Borland/Inprise C Compilers has all the product box photos of these products:

Borland C++ 3.1 through 4.5 shipped in huge boxes, each even larger than the before it.

The box with the 1994 Borland C++ 4.5 and Database Tools supported DOS, Windows, and Win32. It had either a CD or 28 3.5″ HD diskettes.

The last version with 5.25″ diskettes was the 1991 Borland C++ 3.1: 15-5.25″ 1.2 Meg. Diskettes or 15 3.5″ 1.44MB disks.
