Now all Borland has to do is offer the same switchover incentive,
a la dbase->paradox and 1-2-3->quatro, for MSC->BC++! (They don't yet,
I asked.)

Now, does anyone know why Borland would price BC++ at $495 when anyone
can buy TC++ pro for $150 (I've actually seen prices as low as $55 on
the net) and then the upgrade for $99: total price $250 or less?
