You must not have said it in comp.lang.c++ before, though, or else
I'm getting very nearsighted in my old age.  B-/

You're right.  I know, because I just got my upgrade today (Federal
Express, even - thanks, Borland).  And I was never asked to pay for
it either (if Bob Rusbasan is reading this, there's your answer)...
but that might be explained by my name possibly being on file there
as one who has called before with concerns about iostreams bugs.

But the Borland rep couldn't tell me whether 1.01 had fixes above
and beyond those in TCPPT1.ZIP when I called them to ask for the
upgrade.  (I would assume that at least all of the patches from
TCPPT1.ZIP are in the new release.)  That's why I asked here.  If
I bothered anyone in the process, I'm sorry.
