  (7 [or 8] disks if you get 1.2Meg 5.25" floppies.)  It took my package
around 2 weeks as I ordered it 2 days after they [Borland] sent the
upgrade certificates.

  Borland has stated that they will not provide programming information
for Windows.  Really, you can't blame them.  There are a few books on
the market now which will "hold your hand" for programming under Windows.
You might want to crawl on CIS again and ask which book.  It seems at
one point or another someone asked this question and one particular book
was highly praised.  I do wish I had written it down.

  <Sigh>  I wish I had enough HD space.  I need 3 Megs extra for
installation, so I haven't been able to play with the tools yet.  Now
I'm in the market for an extra HD.  (I've got an 8 MHz, Z248 w/ 2.56
Megs Extended memory and a 40 Meg HD which is totally full.)
