Classic case of egg on face here.  I got home after posting this message
and found my Borland C++ upgrade waiting for me on the step :-) .  So it
looks like Borland Pacific have really been moving things along.

And yes, the help compiler is included (first thing I checked), but no,
the Petzold book is not included in the upgrade, although it may be available
from retailers like under the U.S. deal, but I can't say for sure.  It doesn't
worry me though because I've already shelled out the money for the Microsoft
Windows Guide to Programming and Programmer's Reference.

Cheers,

Rhys.
