Before I saw all of the above, I called Borland, and they said that
since I (actually my wife) had purchased TC 1.0 within the last 60
days, I could get an upgrade by sending in:

	(1)  A copy of my paid receipt

	(2)  The serial number on my master disk

	(3)  AND $10.00.

So I did this past Monday (1/4).

Personally, if the upgrade is as significant as I have been told,
I really DON'T mind having to pay the $10.  Anyway, that's the
"rest of the story."
