Well, seeing how many people HAVE it and how Borland's ads for it are splattered all over the last view mags I've gotten, I think you may be being a tad bit overly cautious by calling it a "rumor..." ;-) As far as I know, it does not do windows. It includes "TurboVision," which is a text-based GUI system (the one used in the Borland compilers apparently). Perhaps that is the source of the confusion. >I've also heard of beta version of Turbo C++ that do Windows code. Yes, so have I...in this very newsgroups, as a matter of fact ;-). Someone's co-worker had one, even though it was denied by someone who "didn't speak for Borland" but worked for them. (He made a comment about people at Borland referring to PC Week as "PC Weak," and that was the last post I saw from him.) >I think it is safe to assume that Borland will be there very soon. Yes, definitely. But they'd better hurry... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- / Bob Rusbasan | "So many pitchforks, so little hay." \ / bob@en.ecn.purdue.edu | - Old MacDonald in hell \ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
