Martin,

I have never found Borland UK Customer Services any problem, provided you can prove 
that you are now the legal owner of the software. This is usually in the form of a 
receipt, or a photocopy of the first disk with the serial number on it. If you can 
prove that you are the legal owner, then you should be able to purchase replacement 
disks for any current product that you are registered for, just like any other 
registered customer. Like any other company they have to cover the cost of sending out 
replacement disks when the originals are outside their warranty period, you can't just 
get them for free (last time I enquired, it was about 15.00 UKP + VAT, so it's not 
extortionate.). Also they are unable to keep replacement disks for all the old versions 
and products, there are just too many...

FYI, the number for Borland UK is 01734 320022. They should be able to sort you out, 
provided you have the proof.

Mark.
