The number I have for Borland's bbs is (408) 439-9181.

I've only phoned there once, it wasn't exactly a friendly place.  You had
to know exactly which file you wanted to download - I don't remember
seeing a listing.  I can't tell you much about it because I only spent 
about 2 minutes on it, but it exists.

My apologies... when I posted that, I looked through the manuals that I
have with C++, and saw no mention of a BBS support number, so assumed there
was none.  Since then, several people have posted the Borland BBS number.
I guess they just didn't want to put it in with the papers they sent me 
with the program.  :D
