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.
