I got a call from our (Zortech) sales manager asking if I knew something
she didn't (bit of sarcasm detected) about discounts for the compiler.
It turns out that the phones have been very busy with people wanting to
trade in their Borland compiler to get a discount on the Zortech compiler.
That's not what I intended to imply with my message.  I meant that you 
could get a compiler that does a lot of the things that you only wish
the Turbo C/C++ compiler did by buying the Zortech compiler (upgrade 
from the inferior Borland product to the superior Zortech product -- so to
speak).  

Zortech does not currently have a discount for you if you currently own
the Borland product.  Sorry.

Current educational discount prices are $75.00 for compiler only, $200.00
for development system (debugger, compiler, C++ tools -- a class library,
plus source code for the runtime library -- Flash Graphics library source
available separately).  Site licenses are available.  Call for details.
