Might Borland From Bill Duncan, (bduncan@ve3ied.uucp) >Please post a summary of anything you find out here. #include <std_disclaim.h> 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. greg gowen@forte.cs.tufts.edu, gowen@jade.tufts.edu -- --Greg Owen gowen@forte.cs.tufts.edu, gowen@jade.tufts.edu "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"
