Has anyone in Australia purchased BC++ from an Aussy retailer yet? If so, does it include Charles Petzold's "WINDOWS PROGRAMMING 3" book or does one have to purchase this seperately? thanking you, /============================================================================\ : Geoff M.

I have it on good authority from Borland Pacific that Borland C++ is not arriving in Australia until near the end of April, because they decided to hold it up because of the bugs. So if any copies are in the country yet, there probably not the genuine article, so to speak, or at least weren't obtained through Borland Pacific. I wish they'd hurry up though :-( . > If so, does it include Charles Petzold's "WINDOWS PROGRAMMING 3" book > or does one have to purchase this seperately? I don't think it will be distributed with the package - though I haven't asked them.

Classic case of egg on face here. I got home after posting this message and found my Borland C++ upgrade waiting for me on the step :-) . So it looks like Borland Pacific have really been moving things along. And yes, the help compiler is included (first thing I checked), but no, the Petzold book is not included in the upgrade, although it may be available from retailers like under the U.S. deal, but I can't say for sure. It doesn't worry me though because I've already shelled out the money for the Microsoft Windows Guide to Programming and Programmer's Reference.

We seem to be last as usual. Must be Queensland eh? I think a big delivery must have hit the streets in Queensland this week because I have had a message from someone else in Brisbane who received his copy on the same day as me (Tuesday). So it's all go for BC++ in Australia!! Cheers, Rhys. +=====================+==================================+ || Rhys Weatherley | The University of Queensland, || || rhys@cs.uq.oz.au | Australia.

I have received the upgrade approximately two weeks ago from Borland Pacific, it does not come the Charles Petzold's book. I also have the SDK so this is not a problem for me. The product is very good, as of yet I have had no problems with bugs at all. After using Glockenspiel the speed is incredible! Cu Colin. Colin Canfield Centre for Language Teaching and Research.
