I placed my order for TP4.0, the Database Toolbox, and the Graphix Toolbox
sometime late October.  I received the Compiler the second week in January
and just received the Toolboxes last week (Jan 27th).  The major changes to
the Database toolbox are twofold;  First, the sort routines have been
unitized with the old forward declared routines now passed as function pointers
to the sort routine in the unit.  Second, the database routines now use long  
integers to link/identify deleted records rather than integers.  This expands
the number of records it will handle but requires that the data files be
converted (minor problem at best) to run under the new toolbox.

I originally purchased the Graphix Toolbox to support my Hercules graphics
(which Borland did not provide with TP3.x).  Now that I have this, I no longer
need the routines in the Toolbox.  Anyone know if Borland will take it back
with the reason that they made my use for it obsolete?
