[net.micro.cpm] How long does it take to get Turbo Pascal?

   Hearing all the excitement about Turbo Pascal, I ordered a copy
for MS-DOS, over 3 weeks ago and still not have received it.
I realize that is still a short time for most companies, but I have
heard of people getting it in less than a week!  All of these people
ordered it for an 8-bitter, so I am not sure wether I have just
ordered the version that is in demand, or my order got lost.
Has anyone out there got the MS-DOS version and how long did it
take to get it?  (It feels funny to hear the ranting and raving
of people who ordered the package long after I did)

                    Thanks Much!

I suspect they delayed shipping your order so that they could
include the update version which they are sdaid to be putting
out this week.  That's assuming your order got through the US Snails.
