Anyone inquiring about Borland C++ might want to hear 
what I just experienced...

I called Borland to see if I could order their C++ product
over the phone, and if not, how can I get them to send our 
departement some educational discount coupons...

I was met with a very SCHREWD saleslady who was very sarcastic
and was no help at all.

Does anybody know how to get Borland to send coupons?

I think I might wait for Microsoft-C++. I've never had any problems
with their salespeople.
