Message-ID: <1991Mar1.163247.18094@cbnewsc.att.com> Date: 1 Mar 91 16:32:47 GMT Distribution: na Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 18 I just ordered the upgrade to Borland C++ 2.0. As I had purchased TC++ 1.0 three months ago, I felt I should get BC++ for less than $100. I called their 800 order desk, explained my situation, and they referred me to their Customer Service number (408-...). I called that, explained my situation, and they sold the upgrade to me for $24.95 + $10 Shipping + tax. My particular history is: Nov '90 TC++ upgraded from TC 2.0 Professional upgraded from TC 1.5 upgraded from TC 1.0 As this seems consistent with the cost of duplication, I am satisfied.
