That's not completely true; they most certainly do admit they have bugs,
but for some reason will not post an OFFICIAL list.  There are a number
of non-official ones running around, however.

I could see why you'd be shocked regarding the availability of a
patch disk if you used Microsoft products, though.. With MSC, you have
to wait two years and buy an upgrade with even more bugs (cf. MSC 6.0).

That's what I like about Borland: "Ooops.  We blew it.  Here, run this
program and it'll fix your compiler.  Sorry."

And no charge (you can download it from CI$, and as of TC 2.0, they could
be redistributed freely, including via ftp).

Yeah, I like Borland better than Microsoft. :-)  I've even converted some
people here at work! ;-)
