[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Purchasing Turbo C++

mrice@caen.engin.umich.edu (Michael Rice) (09/20/90)

Hello.  I would like to purchase Borland's Turbo C++.  I have
heard there is an educational discount available for students.
Since I can't seem to find it at Campus stores, I was wondering
how to go about getting this discount.  I would appreciate any
help you can give in this area.

Thanks,
		Mike

Call Borland, the number I have is 1-800-331-0877.  Ask to talk to someone
about software for educational institutions.  They'll probably tell you what
you have to do.  One company I tried said you had to have a professor write
a letter to Borland that says you're one of his/her students, then Borland
would send you a coupon good for the eductational price of the software.  I
never went through with it, and the reason escapes me.
