This  was  just  a  plain  rip-off on Borland's part. I rang them and asked
where  were  my  API  manuals.  They  said  they  weren't  included  in the
upgrade.  I  asked  if the windows API manuals were included as part of the
full  package  for  BC++  3.1.  They said that they were. I then asked what
was  the  *full*  upgrade  price  that  included the manuals. They said you
have  the  full upgrade. I said where are my manuals then? They said for an
extra  19  quid  they  could  send me the manuals. I said ok, so the *full*
upgrade  cost  is  actually 39.95+19.95? They said: no, the full upgrade is
only  39.95.  I gave up by then. I must say they train their sales staff in
doublespeak particularly well.

I'm thinking of changing to Microsoft after that episode.
