Borland's shipping is indeed wierd.  I ordered my Turbo Pascal 4.0 upgrade
a week before my upgrade to C 1.5, and I got my 1.5 shipment about a week
ago (Jan 7).  I still haven't seen or heard from my Pascal compiler.

I'm pleased, in theory, with the additions to C in 1.5, but unfortunately
after I removed 1.0 and put in 1.5 I found one of my major applications
that I've been working on lately wouldn't run correctly.  Instead of
trying to figure out what the heck is wrong (nothing had changed to break
my code in the new version according to the book, and I always re-compile
and run this code on Sys V) I switched back to 1.0.  I kept grep however!

If there's any known bugs floating around (and fixes!) please let me know.
