And I think that Borland is simply continuing the tradition begun with
the second release of TC++.  My copy (TC++ 1.01) has 4 manuals:  Getting
Started, User's Guide, Programmer's Guide and Library Reference.  When I
went to buy TC++, I noticed the difference between the first and second
editions, and I asked the salesman at Software, Etc. to show me the
difference.  Once I saw, I purchased the first edition.

I've heard from Borland that they "rolled the documentation into the
online system", and that appears to be the case.  But I find it hard to
leaf through online documentation while the computer is doing a 25
minute rebuild.
