Like I promised I'd summarize the mailings I got from my Borland C++ Bug list search. I only got two messages but one of them was a real boon of information.

I was wondering, according Borland no bug list is available. However, I know that one is circulated on the net. Could someone plese be kind enough to tell me where I could find it (FTP address)? I would like the newest one if possible (only bugs pertaining to BC++, not Turbo C and/or Turbo C++). Thanks, Brian

I recently purchased Borland C++ and I too have a small bug list of my own. I know many of my problems have probably already been discussed (such as disappearing mouse pointer when going to user screen under BC, and occasional crashes [I have an 286 with 640k and EGA using Logitech 3.1]). I did not have it, unfortunately, when much of these things were being discussed, and did not pay careful attention until now. In addition to bug lists, I would like any available information on patches for BC++ 2.0, particularly for my mouse pointer. I did not see anything that applied to me on Simtel.

Bug list found (!) This information just handed to me.... On sun.soe.clarkson.edu [128.153.12.3] under /pub/Turbo-C++ has a couple of patches and what appears to be the latest bug list for Turbo and Borland C++ products. it's a start... -e.b. ============================================================================== Eric Berggren | "Life is a Turing Test; Computer Science/Eng. | We're all automatons!" ericb@eecs.cs.pdx.edu | - (click, whir, buzz, chirp)

There is a mailing list for TurboC++/BorlandC++, called TCPLUS-L, that distributes a periodic buglist. I'm not a mailing-list expert, but I think you can subscribe by sending a "SIGNOFF TCPLUS-L" command to LISTSERV@UCF1VM. Please note that this command must NOT be sent to the list address (TCPLUS-L@UCF1VM) but to the LISTSERV address (LISTSERV@UCF1VM).

The correct domain name form of the address is listserv@ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu You place commands in the body of the email message, one per line. The correct command to subscribe is SUBSCRIBE TCPLUS-L Yourfirstname YourLastname the SIGNOFF command is to remove yourself from the list. Send the line HELP for more information about LISTSERV commands. TCPLUS-L is a mailing list. Marshall Cline's bug list is posted to it every so often, but is maintained by him on sun.soe.clarkson.edu where it is available by anonymous ftp. -- sidney markowitz <sidney@borland.com> Disclaimer: I work at Borland, but neither the bug list nor the mailing list mentioned in this message are created, supported, maintained (or any similar verbs you want to throw in) by Borland.

You should use SUBSCRIBE. There a bunch of other commands (none of them comes to my mind) but I have a file that I got on CI$ explaining this ('cause you can receive the BITNET mailing there..
