Strange...  But, whatever you say...

I wish Turbo C had overlays!

Just Turbo Pascal 5.0 comes with upgrade manuals (or so I've been told).
Turbo Pascal Professional (the one with the assembler and debugger) comes with
a whole new set of manuals.

Well, you didn't miss out on that much.  It had it's moments, but mostly wasn't
that great.  And now it's gone forever (or so they say...).  Strange, though,
that the only info on the upgrade was in the mag.  Usually they also send out
an announcement by itself.  Hmm...
