You missed the point: Borland Turbo C was a proprietary compiler and IDE that had its last release in 1988 (replaced by Borland Turbo C++, which died sometime in the 90's). It has no relevance in this day and age. If you teach C, at least teach C99 using a contemporary compiler—C11 was available when this all occurred. At no point did I suggest that a different language or paradigm should have been taught.
