Does someone on the net know how Borland handles educational discounts? (My brother wants to buy their C++ compiler and his computer store carries mostly hardware.) Ken (kenyee@ksr.com or uunet!ksr!kenyee)

Borland offers their educational discounts mainly through authorized campus dealers. However, I suppose they could sell to individual students if you were to contact them. Their phone number escapes me at the moment, but check the back of one of their boxes... -- Dj Padzensky _______________________________________________________________________________ Internet: djpadz@bonnie.ics.uci.edu | Neurotics build castles in the sky.

However, I suppose they could sell to individual >students if you were to contact them. They do, in fact, sell directly to individuals. If it's your first time, they'll ask you to write a short letter describing what you want to use their product for and certifying that you're a student (school letterhead signed by a prof is required, if I remember correctly). After they get that info, they'll mail you the product. Once you've ordered from them once under their educational plan, you can order upgrades or additional products simply by calling up their customer service desk and telling them you want to order again under their scholar's program. Hope this helps. Tony Hodgson ahodgson@hstbme.mit.edu
