	Do not take this as gospel, but at the borland/ibm OS/2 party
of the Programmers Development party this fall in Boston, they were
giving away copies of several of their products, and Brief was one of
them.  I was busy salivating over someone's OS/2 prize but I believe
that when the Borland representative was introducing the prizes he
said this blurb about brief, the old "This is a fine product we've
just picked up and we hope to continue in the tradition" etc, etc.
This was a month ago and my memory is poor but I got the impression
that they were going to continue to support it as a front-line product
and that they expected it would do well.  Sort of like parents showing
off their new baby 8).

	Again, don't take it as gospel.  Just a tidbit.
