I have a fairly substantial Last week I received a flyer from Borland; for those of you who haven't gotten one yet (and who care...) Turbo C 1.5 upgrade 190-page manual addendum & five new diskettes: graphics library w/ "over 70 functions" librarian (to build library files) (quoting now...) 43- and 50-line mode support Multiple fonts for text output in graphics mode CGA, EGA, VGA, Hercules and ATT 400 Support Text-mode video functions, including windows, colors, and high-performance screen output File Search utility (GREP) Sample graphics applications More than 100 new functions And many more features... Nothing about improved code generation, though...(:-( $33.50 w/ old serial number (or $15 if you bought after 10/1/87 (grrr)) Special offer: Runtime Library Source code for $150 and get the upgrade for free (source for v1.5 only) If you're really hot to trot, you can order by calling (800)-543-7543. Disclaimer: no stake in this, I'm just a sort-of satisfied customer wondering where he's gonna find 33 an' a half more bucks...(contributions gratefully accepted :-) :-) :-)

After just about wearing out my fingers on the rotary dial of my office phone I finally got through to the 800 number at Borland last Tuesday. After coughing up my visa #, the lady said, "that'll be $38.50". "What", I said. "190 page manual, you Know. Shipping." "I'm not impressed", I say. "You want to cancel". "No, go ahead and do it." "Oh yes you know, that will *probably* be shipping some time next month." "Sigh..." <<...click.>> Can you say "January or February, I bet?" Sure, I knew you could. --Bill
