                     and reason that there is no such thing as chance or
                     accident; it being evident that these words do not
                     signify anything really existing, anything that is

               ways, and each of these a + b ways is equally likely,
               the chance, or probability, that the event will happen
               is measured by the fraction a/a + b, and the chance, or
               probability, that it will fail is measured by b/a + b.

               cancer, or Hard cancer}, in which the framework
               predominates, and the tumor is of hard consistence and
               slow growth. (3) {Encephaloid, Medullary, [or] Soft
               cancer}, in which the cellular element predominates,
               and the tumor is soft, grows rapidy, and often
               ulcerates. (4) {Colloid cancer}, in which the cancerous
               structure becomes gelatinous. The last three varieties

      {Cancer cells}, cells once believed to be peculiar to
            cancers, but now know to be epithelial cells differing in

      {Borland}'s {C} {compiler} for {IBM PC}s.
  
      Turbo C, version 1.0, was introduced by Borland in 1987.   It
      offered the first integrated edit-compile-run development
      environment for {C} on {IBM PC}s.   It ran in 384KB of memory.
      It allowed inline assembly, supported all memory models, and
      offered optimisations for speed, size, {constant folding}, and
      {jump elimination}.
  
      Version 1.5 shipped on five 360 KB diskettes of uncompressed
      files, and came with sample C programs, including a stripped
      down spreadsheet called mcalc.
  
      Turbo C 2.0 has a debugger, a fast assembler, and an extensive
      graphics library.
  
      Turbo C has been largely supplanted by {Turbo C++}, introduced
      circa September, 1990 for both {MS-DOS} and {Microsoft
      Windows}.
