I called CS on March 7, the receipt is dated the 9th, and UPS stamped it on the 13th. I received the disk (8" Z-80) on March 21, exactly 2 weeks after I spoke with CS. Considering the fact that I live on the East coast, that was pretty fast delivery. I am very happy with the product so far. The manual has several typos, but most of them are obvious. The spreadsheet they give as a sample program is surprisingly useful, but it does contain one undocumented command -- /C will clear the current workspace. I had to resort to trial-and-error to put a formula into a cell (start with a left paren). My only major concern is the fact that the command changes I made with TINST were not saved; I tried to remap DEL into Ctrl-H and Ctrl-H into Ctrl-B. TINST acknowledges the changes, but TURBO doesn't. Overall, the TURBO system reminds me of Apple Pascal, but it runs FAST. dsw, fferd Fred S. Brundick USABRL, APG, MD.
