I called Borland to see if I could order their C++ product over the phone, and if not, how can I get them to send our departement some educational discount coupons... I was met with a very SCHREWD saleslady who was very sarcastic and was no help at all. Does anybody know how to get Borland to send coupons? I think I might wait for Microsoft-C++. I've never had any problems with their salespeople. - Student

In the past, I have been able to send them a copy of my current registration card. Microsoft will be nice, but even with student discounts their C 6.0 is like $200.00+ or so. But hey, it would be nice to be able to develope window apps with C++... -- Parker B. Waechter UCLA Biocybernetics Lab parkerw@cs.ucla.edu 4731 Boelter Hall Los Angeles, Ca. 90024-1596

Knowing that find the coupons at my school would be almost impossible, I ordered Turbo C++ with the education discount, by sending them proof of enrollment. I sent photocopies of my school ID and summer class schedule. I recieve my package two weeks later. No hassles as all. Kurt A. Stephens !uunet!motcid!stephens -- Kurt A.

I got a call late last night from someone at Zortech who just read these postings. They suggested I post (they are not able to do so) and make it clear what Zortech's policy is and offer the following deal for people on the net as proof of eligiblity for the discount. Mail zortech-ed@proto.com with your phone number and if your return address has a .EDU then you qualify and a Zortech salesperson will call you to close the sale. These requests will be forwarded to Zortech and you will get a call (probably) within a few days. The following should be also be of interest: Zortech C/C++ has been provideing support for Windows AND OS/2 for several months now. Zortech has been shipping a version that supports Rational Systems DOS extender since the first of July also (including support for graphics and mice). There are numerous third party libraries to help easy the pain of developing for Windows also. Zortech can mention some names if you ask for that information. The following is the price list for the educational discounts, if you want a copy of the complete announcement mail a request to ztc-request@proto.com and I will send it to you. ---------- EDUCATIONAL PRICING FROM JULY 2ND 1990 Zortech C++ Compiler $75 Zortech C++ Developer's Edition $200 Zortech C++ Compiler Educational Site License Contains License for 10 users plus one set of documentation $300 Zortech C++ Developer's Edition Site License Contains License for 10 users plus one set of documentation $750 Contact: Renee Pace Educational Sales Representative Zortech, Inc. 4-C Gill Street Woburn, MA 01801 Tel: (617) 937-0696 FAX: (617) 937-0793 Email: zortech-ed@proto.com uunet!proto!zortech-ed -- joe@proto.com uunet!proto!joe FAX: 208-263-8772
