[comp.lang.c++] Vendor for Turbo C++

nqdy@vax5.cit.cornell.edu (07/25/90)

Hi fellow netters,
		  I think I saw some mention of Turbo C++ (Pro Ed)
for $130. I have not been able to locate a vendor
who sells it for that price. If anyone knows a vendor who sells 
a single copy for ~ $ 130, please let me know.
		Thanks folks,
		             sanjeev

Just as a guess, that's darn close to the educational discount price which I
saw at our campus bookstore computer center.  That might be where you heard
the figure.  I notice you posted from a .edu site.  Be sure to check into
getting the educational rate...

Cheers!

This price is the offer made to owners of Turbo C 2.0 Professional. If 
you own TC 2.0 and the Assembler/Debugger 1.0 package as well, then you
would have gotten a notice for upgrading from Borland by now.

Vendors aren't going to meet or beat this price, but they are coming
reasonably close.  But do check on the academic price before you take
the plunge.  It is still higher than the Borland upgrade, but better
than what you would get from mail-order houses.
