All things considered  as for as capabilities (lack of them),  I recommend quick
c., based on following 3 points:

1. "Quick"/"Turbo"  means one thing: No serious optimization. At least with
quick C, It is compatible with ms's  "real" C compiler. So i can use qc to
develop,and build the program with reg. c compiler for production.

2. Turbo C has no debugger, while qc does.

3.qc is from Microsoft, and for whatever it's worth it  is a big name company,
as for as future considerations (With other compilers from MS).

Finally, ofcourse it depends on the application that u want to develop with
either of compilers.. If u can buy each of 'em for about 60 bucks, why not buy
both  of them, and evaluate yourself ?.
