Thanks a lot folks!! How many other people feel "screwed", I have not yet had the chance to use TC++, had to beg for the 1.01 upgrade (they wanted more money!) It is installed but no time to use it yet, and now there is something new, and cheaper than what I paid for the first upgrade!! Borland could make good money on the quality of their products but instead they milk their "loyal" customers. Lets let them know how we feel! Kahn has written us enough letters, lets write him some! we are the customers , we pay their bills. -------------------------- dont let the sig fool you, I payed for TC++ with my own cash. -- Patrick Torre @ Dun and Bradstreet Software, Inc (404) 239-2061 {emory,gatech}!nanovx!msa3b!torre
