|To be a little bit more precise than Dave Draper's message:
|
|This rumour (or rumor, over here) is unfounded. 

Glad to see you spotted the trans_atlantic difference.

|That means that it,
|and any component of it, may be true, partially true, or completely
|untrue. That includes even the name "Borland C++ 4.0" which may or may
|not turn out to be the name of some future product, although it is
|unlikely to be the name of our next spreadsheet :-)
|
|Now, Duncan Murdoch's message about BP 7.0, which is a shipping
|product, was accurate. It does have a royalty free 16-bit DPMI DOS
|extender.

This seems a long way of saying "no comment", but thanks for putting a
little more humour into it than Dave!

BTW, is support generally available over Internet (cheaper than CI$), or
do you two just drop in on this newsgroup occaisionally?
