Last week I received a flyer from Borland; for those of you who haven't
gotten one yet (and who care...)

	Turbo C 1.5 upgrade

		190-page manual addendum & five new diskettes:
		graphics library w/ "over 70 functions"
		librarian (to build library files)
(quoting now...)
		43- and 50-line mode support
		Multiple fonts for text output in graphics mode
		CGA, EGA, VGA, Hercules and ATT 400 Support
		Text-mode video functions, including windows, colors, and
			high-performance screen output
		File Search utility (GREP)
		Sample graphics applications
		More than 100 new functions
		And many more features...

Nothing about improved code generation, though...(:-(

$33.50 w/ old serial number (or $15 if you bought after 10/1/87 (grrr))
Special offer: Runtime Library Source code for $150 and get the upgrade
for free (source for v1.5 only)  If you're really hot to trot, you can
order by calling (800)-543-7543.
	Disclaimer: no stake in this, I'm just a sort-of satisfied customer
wondering where he's gonna find 33 an' a half more bucks...(contributions
gratefully accepted :-) :-) :-)
