I got my Turbo Pascal 5.0 professional package two days after my check cleared,
about two weeks after I mailed it. I have no complaints against Borland's
shipping department. I had thought that the different programs of the ProPack
were more integrated, though. At worst, however, a minor disappointment.
The Borland manuals were better (thinner, but still thick paperbacks, 5 volumes
taking about 6 or 7 inches of shelf space.)

But what I want to know is, what's this about Turbo Technix being cancelled?
I subscribe, and I didn't see any mention in the latest issue (the latest
issue I have is the one describing the directory search engine in TP5 and
announcing the new languages). That would be a truly sad thing if true, for
it was one magazine well worth even a $10.00/issue price. (Good thing it was
free, or I'd be broker than I already am keeping up with Borland's upgrades.)
