Lines: 21

I called about the BC++ 2.0 windows help compiler and they verified
that it was in and shipping.  Unfortunately, however, it appears that
you may have to call their customer service desk to get your copy.
I was told by the service rep that they should be shipped automatically,
but ....  Anyway, if you don't mind the cost of the phone call, the 
phone number is 1-408-438-5300.  It is an electronic forwarding system,
so press '2', then '2' to get an actual service rep (this saves having
to wait 30 seconds for the condescending electronic explanation of how 
to use the D*MNED thing!)

While speaking with the tech reps about a bug I had come across (turns
out that everyone else has as well, apparently), they told me that there
is now an RBBS setup which contains BC++ patches and info, rather than
using  COMPUSERVE's GO BORLAND directory.  I was told that I could go ahead 
and post the number for all to see and (ab)use:

         BORLAND's BBS:   1-408-439-9096

Best wishes from the land of sunshine,
