And *I* was under the impression you only had to convince them you
were a student.  The software discount policies go, especially at
Borland, each of these policies may have been in effect one time or
another, or even all three at once!

I recall seeing postings by a guy who claimed to be in charge of
educational software sales for Borland.  Forget his name, but he used
Portal, so you could probably get his mailing address from
cs@portal.com.
