Yes. Becuase TC3 is not "TC", but "TCPP" family.

This is because comments should be differ from commented statements.
Tom, changed batches was (re)published in this group many times.
Difference of current batch files with previous is that command line in
compiler now noticeably reduced, duplicated code in tc/bc makefiles now
reused (through including common makefile), some issues with MSVC is fixed
(for example, NMAKE/Borland MAKE/WMAKE are very different and there was hard
to make makefiles, which are acceptable for all of them). Also:
______________O\_/_________________________________\_/O______________
- all MAKEFILEs now look similar.
- "production" target replaced by "all" to eliminate warning from NMAKE.
- DEVICE\MAKEFILE: device.lib now created directly in ..\lib directory
without intermediate copy.
- added SYS\TURBOC.CFG and UTILS\TURBOC.CFG; most options for compilers
moved from command line to consequent KERNEL\*.CFG.
- SYS\MAKEFILE, UTILS\MAKEFILE: reused implicit rules from MKFILES\GENERIC.MAK.

There _are_ "useful purposes". Most of them I publish earlier, when
many times (re)publish batch files. For example, BC5 renamed to BC, because
this name used for all BC++ (3, 4, 5), not only for BC5, and thus mislead.

For example, I was send here many small patches for dsk.c. Where was
your reaction? Void. :( Some time ago diff for, say, config.c was small, but
changes are accumulated over time, whereas you was not interested in this
process earlier. Now you blame me in this?
