Someone once told me that Borland will offer a student discount on TC++, is this true, and if so how can I get in touch with them about it? Are there any other major software corperations which offer discounts to students? thanks, mkaerich@hip5.bellcore.com

I am a Pitt student and can get there products at about 50% off when buying through the college. These are not cripples in any way, I get the exact same thing as you would by buying the normal way. (partial) Pitt Computer Center Price List: Quattro 48.00 Quattro Pro 67.20 Sidekick Plus 48.00 Turbo C 48.00 Turbo C ++ 67.20 Turbo C ++ Pro 134.40 Turbo Pascal 48.00 MS stuff is also available: MS Windows 3 85.68 Ms Word for Windows 130.41 MS Excell for Windows 130.41 MS FORTRAN 258.75 MS QBasic 45.00 Plus lots of hardware. The only catch is that you must be a full time Pitt student or Employee and you cannot resell for 1-3 years (it varies). Check your Univ to see if they have an arrangement already. I think they will only sell through a Univ, not to students directly. Ted wewst1@unix.cis.pitt.edu

Stanford don't sell Borland stuff, but Borland will sell to you directly if you get a letter from a professor saying you're a student who needs the product for a class. Richard Stanton
