I read Microcoft's product announcement for C 5.1 on Compuserve last night. Does anyone know when it will really be or if it is available? If so, is there a reasonable update policy from 5.0? Is there a list of corrected bugs?

I read in one of the trade magazines (InfoWorld, I think), that the upgrade would be available either "in Apr" or "Apr 30" (can't remember which). I can't remember whether they mentioned anything about up-grade policy, but my guess is that since MSC 5.0 turned out to be so buggy and since 5.1 is supposed to ship only 5 months after I _finally_ got my 5.0 up-grade, I'm hoping the up-grade costs will be reasonable (<$75?). Also, they have lost so much momentum to Borland, that I don't think they can afford to have their up-grade costs much higher than the cost of buying Turbo C :-). -- ========================================================================== Michael H.

According to the Microsoft spokesperson on Compuserve, the upgrade will cost $25. Besides bug fixes, it will include a new Microsoft programmer's editor. For more details, try the MSSYS forum on Compuserve. =================================================================== Charles Taylor | | Navy Regional Data Automation Center | | Box 140 | #include <remark.h> | Pearl Harbor, HI 96860 | | ARPA: nardacph @ hawaii-emh.arpa | | ===================================================================

Is there a list of corrected bugs? Microsoft Canada hasn't been able to ship 5.0 updates yet. We've been waiting a couple months.
