My complaint is that why did I just pay $125 in Sept. to upgrade from 2.0 to ` C++ and now it is the same price to upgrade as if I still just had my Turbo C 2.0?? I called Borland and was told that if my version had been purchased in the last 60 days, the upgrade would be free. I really appreciate paying $125 in Sept, getting the 1.01 upgrade which fixed the initial release in November 90 and now being told that I could have saved my $125 by waiting 6 months.
