  I did not even get an upgrade notice for C 6.0[a] from C 6.0! I heard about
the upgrade from the net and called up Microsoft Aust. in Sydney and they sent
me the upgrade for free ( I bought the compiler < 6 months earlier ).
  It is happening again! I have not heard about upgrade this time. What is the
use of registering if they do not send you anything on upgrades or current
news? I might as well register only when my compiler is out-of-date and get
a free upgrade then!!

   I am thinking of using Borland C++ but is stuck with Microsoft C 'cos the
libraries I have to use for my work is Microsoft C-compatible only! Any possible
solutions?
