    TRUE.  But you cannot upgrade a textbook.

    Alas, over my confussion I called Borland.  They said if I want to sell
my TP 5.5 I need to send them a letter agreeing to the following conditions:
    	I give up all rights to use TP 5.5
    	I have no copies of TP 5.5 on disk
    	I have no copies of TP 5.5 on my computer
    	And, I give up all future upgrade rights to TP 5.5

    I'm not sure what that final condition means, but if you are wondering, 
B-land can be reached at (408) 438-5300 (to skip the boring voice mail into,
just press 2 twice, that will take you to a customer rep).

    So, anyone want to buy my copy of TP 5.5?
