MOST Turbo Pascal owners can upgrade by phone order with a credit
card and their serial number.  However, Borland has lost their
only copies of two blocks of serial numbers.  Owners in those two
blocks will have to send in the disk to get the upgrade, since
Borland can't verify genuine ownership any other way.

Yes, I'm one of those lucky Turbo Pascal owners.

It is better never to have been born.  But who among us has such luck?
One in a million, perhaps.
