Hello all,

   ... good news for nen-German speaking Turbo C fans!!

   I called Borland Germany last friday and talked to the coordinator of
Turbo C beta testing.  He said that Borland Germany still has no plans to
offer Turbo C/ST in the USA (I didn't ask why :-).  But they are currently
looking for a British or US publisher to produce an English version of the
manual, so that they can offer an English version of the Turbo C package.

   I had offered to organize a bulk order of Turbo C and ship it to the US,
and a few people said that they'd be interested.  My offer still stands, but
I now propose to wait until Borland Germany comes up with an English version.

   What do people think?  In the past, Borland Germany has kept such announce-
ments, so I guess one could trust them to deliver in this case as well.

   If you don't want to wait and still want a German Turbo C 1.2 *now* or
the much-improved 2.0 in January (?), feel free to email me.

   Note:  I'm sorry that I haven't replied to all ppl interested in TC,
I'm currently being flooded with email.  I have noted all your names and email
addresses, though (if your mail ever reached me :-)

   PS: Ignac Kolenko, how the #3!! do I get email to you????
