I just received the upgrade notice in the mail.  They list the upgrade
price from Turbo C pro or Turbo C++ pro as $99.  My complaint is
that why did I just pay $125 in Sept. to upgrade from 2.0 to `
C++ and now it is the same price to upgrade as if I still just had
my Turbo C 2.0??  I called Borland and was told that if my version
had been purchased in the last 60 days, the upgrade would be free.
I really appreciate paying $125 in Sept, getting the 1.01 upgrade
which fixed the initial release in November 90 and now being told that
I could have saved my $125 by waiting 6 months.  Thanks a lot folks!!
