-}Simply put.  Not true.  Several people here in Charlottesville  RECEIVED
-}TC 2.0 on 3.5" microfloppies a while ago.  In fact they received TC 2.0
-}faster than Borland had promised (apparently Borland thought there might

-I didn't say you couldn't get TC 2.0 on 3.5" disks.  You just can't buy it
-that way in a store.  You have to order it from Borland after you've
-bought the 5.25" disks in the store and it will cost you another $15 over
-what you've already paid.  Borland also told me it would take two weeks to
-get to me (their brochure promised 48 hours).  I made other arrangements.

In the interests of a precision above and beyond the call of duty,
I should point out that several mail-order places will ship TC2.0 on
either 3.5 or 5.25 disks. Examination of the packaging shows that
Borland clearly ships TC2.0 in both varieties. (I've seen both sets
of packaging since the mail-order store I used accidentally shipped
3.5 disks which I did not want!)
