An open letter to Borland International Sirs, I bought a product from you about 9 or 10 weeks ago - J Builder Standard Edition version 1.0. It is really a nice program and I like it a lot. Approximately 5 weeks ago I downloaded the the 1.01 patch from your web site. I followed the instructions and it installed perfectly. Unfortunately, the next day I uninstalled the product because I was having a problem and thought it may have been caused by the patch. It turned out to be something else. So, I reinstalled J Builder 1.00 Standard Edition and attempted to reinstall the patch. I couldn't do it. I tried for 3 days to install the 1.01 patch and it would consistently fail. After wasting MUCH time I finally decided to give up and just order the $15.00 CD refresh CD that was mentioned on your web page. About 10 days later I got the package from Borland. Except, I didn't get the upgrade CD .... I got another copy of J Builder 1.00 with manual and sun glasses. I was rather irritated. Almost 2 weeks now and I was still stuck on version 1.00. I called your 800 number and they said they would immediately ship me the 1.01 refresh CD and that they were sorry about the mistake. A week later I received the much anticipated package. Except it was another copy of J Builder Standard Edition version 1.00 with manual and sun glasses. Now I was really peeved. I called your 800 number again and they appoligized again. They said they would send me the 1.01 refresh CD for sure THIS time. Well today ..... 5 days later I finally got the package from Borland. Except it was ANOTHER copy of J Builder Standard Edition version 1.00 with manual and sun glasses. I have several open questions. 1. Am I the only one who is experiencing this difficulty in trying to obtain the upgrade? 2. Will I EVER get the upgrade CD? 3. Do only enterprise customers get the refresh CD? 4. Do you really expect to stay in business long if you can't fill one $15.00 order? 5. Should I open a distributorship to get rid of the extra copies of J Builder Standard Edition version 1.00? 6. How many pairs of sun glasses do I need? I really, really, really, really, REALLY, would like to upgrade to J Builder 1.01 Really. Two last questions. 1. JUST WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET MY 1.01 REFRESH CD???? 2. OR IS IT TIME TO LOOK AT OTHER PRODUCTS FROM COMPANIES THAT CAN FILL AN ORDER? Gary L. Robinson P.O. Box 359 Christiansburg, OH 45389 grobin@coax.net A satisfied user of J Builder Standard Edition version 1.00 who has not been allowed to update to 1.01
