The guy on the phone is a goon (not unexpectedly).  Turbo keeps a continuously
updated archive on CompuServe that contains the patch program and patch files
to fix all of the Turbo C, Turbo Assem (no patches posted yet), and Turbo
Debugger problems as they fix them.

The first version of TDCONVRT (which you wouldn't use if Turbo is your main
development language, but we use heavily) was garbage.  The fixed version
solved a plethora of problems that we had.

Get on Compu$erve and "GO BPROGB".  You will find the patch files and whatnot
in data libraries 5, 6 and 7 (if memory serves).  I'm sorry but I don't
remember what all of the problems are that the patches fix.
