I just received my copy of Turbo C 1.5 the other day. I've been waiting for it since sometime in mid-November 87. Turbo Pascal 4.0 arrived very shortly there after as well, it was ordered around the same time. I think I know why it took so long for mine to show up at least, and I'm rather surprised they showed up at all. You see, I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Borland sent both packages to Halifax, New Brunswick, Canada. There is, to my knowledge, no city named Halifax in New Brunswick. Has anyone else experienced the same problem? I must say, I am very impressed with the product. Normally in an upgrade of this sort one expects the additional pages to be stapled together or attached in some other equally clumsy fashion. The addendum for TurboC is nicely bound and matches my 1.0 manuals. Installation was a snap. I have only looked at the graphics functions in the manual, but they look truely awesome. I am impressed. For those of you waiting for a source code debugger, the letter I got with my upgrade said TurboC would be the first product to benefit from Borland's debugging technology in the first quarter of 88. I can't wait. :-)
