Sorry I don't have a reference included, but....

The original question (not posted by me) was:

	what is the current release of Borland's Turbo C?

The originator stated he had received Turbo 1.0 as a Christmas present and had
heard rumors 1.5 was shipping.

My response: 

	Yes, Turbo 1.5 is presently shipping, and the poster should contact
        Borland to avoid paying the upgrade fee.

A third party then posted:

	How can I get a free upgrade?

My response to this:

	If you have received an older version of a software package during
	the time the company is shipping a new version, MOST reputable com-
	panies will give you a free upgrade.  If in this case Borland would
	not, I would take advantage of the money back guarantee to retrieve
	my cash, and then buy another company's compiler.

I'm sorry I don't have the original postings, but our computer trashed all of
the postings on it when a maintenance action occurred.
