I've said this 3 times before on the net, but here goes again.

  TC++ 1.01 and TCPPT1.ZIP are two totally different things. The former
is a new release of the compiler.  You will get new disks entirely.
The latter was a set of patches to the compiler, libaries, and include
files that fixed things like the growing .prj problem, various
problems in the library, etc etc.  
  TC++ 1.01 should be free, but Borland seems to be selling copies for
$15 to people who call and order it.  If you call tech support, and
report a compiler bug, they will ship it to you for free.

>Clarifications!  We need clarifications!  B-)

The clarification I am interested in is what exactly TC++ 1.01 fixes.
I know one compiler bug it takes care of - a problem in conditionally
returning constructed objects in inline functions.  I do not know what
other bugs it fixes, or whether there is a parallel upgrade for the
debugger, profiler, etc.  I do want to know the answers to this, but
the best I can do is wait for the release to get to me.
