Let me get this straight: Last time I encountered a bug in a Borland product, it took me six months to convince the you-must-have-made-pointer-error technical servicers that there was, in fact, a bug. Finally, you sent me a free upgrade. Now you expect me not only to debug your compiler for you, but you're not even going to send me "confirmation, fixes, or workarounds," so that I have to buy the "new, improved" version. Sign me up.
