The subject line says it all!!  After being told by Borland that the product
(along with the debugger) wouldn't ship until October (and we know how good
Borland is at making a deadline), the package arrived this morning.  I
haven't had any time to play with it yet, save to notice a few small items:

1) The manuals are *ugly* (personal opinion here).  
2) .TPU files are a different format than before.  So all of the .TPU files
   you have (without source code to recompile) are worthless.
3) No "conversion" is needed from 4.0 to 5.0 (but there is still a new
    conversion program for 3.x --> 5.0).
4) Many of the compiler switches have changed.  Same letters, different
    meanings.  Check your old programs when you recompile.

More later, I'm sure.
