A few days ago someone said that he did not get the "Full library source for over 400 library functions" from Zortech along with their $100 C++ compiler, although they mentioned it in their mailings. The same thing happened to me and so I called Zortech. They said that they made a mistake in some of their mailings and that the source code costs $49.95. To compensate for their mistake, they offered to ship the source code overnight, if I buy it for $49.95. -srini... srinivas@cs.utexas.edu

Don't you beleive it (that they goofed). I _talked_ to them on the phone _before_ they mailed out literature on the product, and I was _told_ that the source code is included. So they _changed_their_mind_ in the meantime. I do not understand why Zortech can not admit this, since the price is still very hard to beat. (By the way, the library source from Borland costs $150!). Please, please post impressions and opinions on this product! - Joseph, joseph@chromo.ucsc.edu reger@ucscc.bitnet

Needless to say, I very much appreciate their offer. Thanks Zortech! -srini... srinivas@cs.utexas.edu uunet!cs.utexas.edu!srinivas
