That's nice but I've heard/read many negative things about this 1.01 fix
which says it's better to stick with 1.0 !

And again I'll ask... what is Borland's policy (timeframe) for when a new
major release (ie: 2.0) comes out and the time that the customer purchases
a previous copy compared to what the customer has to pay or gets a free
upgrade ???
Is it 1 month, 3 months, ... ?  How much does the upgrade *usually* cost ???

I will be gone until Monday, so please send an email copy of your response.

Thanks...Dan.
