   I called Wednesday and was told the sales staff had received the briefing
   on the new product on Tuesday, and it should be available by early next
   week.  No other details, I'm afraid.

I called today and they let me order it (2/14/91).  If you are upgrading
from Turbo C++ Professional to Borland C++ (thats right, not Turbo C++)
you need to have your serial numbers for both Turbo C++ and the Debugger.
In Texas the total upgrade cost (upgrade, Texas tax, and $10.00 shipping
fee) approximately $116.00.  They do not have a ship date yet, though
I've seen on the net both the 29th of the month and also that they were
already shipping.  Considering the cost of the MS SDK and MS C 6.0 and
the fact that MS C 6.0 is a disaster, this is a deal I can`t refuse.
