(Gee, I can't find TD486.EXE on my disk.-) There are two other big advantages: TD leaves more room for the program to run in than TC. And TD lets you have multiple "views" of the program (stack backtrace, registers, source code with current statement shown, values of expressions, etc.) in overlapping windows. Of course, you get TASM, too. > A quick template of function-key use (which is not provided and possibly > should be) Is available by hitting F1 F1, then selecting "Keyboard hot keys". Paul S. R.

Simply put. Not true. Several people here in Charlottesville RECEIVED TC 2.0 on 3.5" microfloppies a while ago. In fact they received TC 2.0 faster than Borland had promised (apparently Borland thought there might be a 2 week delay because of the high number of upgrade requests, there wasn't. Arrived 3 days after ordering.) ______________________________________________________________________________ rja@edison.GE.COM or ...uunet!virginia!edison!rja via Internet (preferable) via uucp (if you must) ______________________________________________________________________________

You have to order it from Borland after you've bought the 5.25" disks in the store and it will cost you another $15 over what you've already paid. Borland also told me it would take two weeks to get to me (their brochure promised 48 hours).

I just bought a brand new copy of Turbo C 2.0 (professional) and I got it in 3.5". The store had both 3.5" and 5.25" versions. The sales people there were quite good about making sure that you got the right version of disks for your system. I purchased mine in Minneapolis, it could be that they have not gotten them down in North Carolina yet. It also could be that your store vendors have not gotten around to ordering 3.5" floppies yet.

I made the mistake of picking up a 3.5" version at the store and had to bring it back to exchange it for the 5.25" version. By the way, the reason I made the mistake in the first place was the way in which Borland marks the two versions. When I picked up the box I noticed a sticker that read something like "includes 3.5" disks". Silly me, I thought this meant that the 3.5" disks were included in addition to the 5.25" ones.

In summary of the many responses I received for my Turbo C 2.0 questions, ssignal.c is provided with 2.0 but not supported. Apparently they include it just for people who are porting code from UNIX, etc., as a favour. Or as they say in the manual, "for ease of portation". Portation? Never mind... As for stat.h, it was in the sys subdirectory (boy am i dumb). However, I have another question. How exactly do you access the new BGI drivers in 2.0? I have code that uses the 1.5 BGI drivers, and 2.0 barfs on it. It says in the manual that the drivers are not compatible, yet I cannot just substitute the new drivers. Why? Thanks, Matt.
