Be forewarned, if you take advantage of one of the upgrade offers for the
PRO package, you do not get a full manual set.  The package includes C++,
debugger, profiler, and assembler.  The missing manuals are the Guide and
Reference manuals for the assembler.  Instead you get a ring-bound TASM
quick reference.  

Originally this deal was billed as an introductory price on a new product
rather than a product upgrade.  Now Borland is saying that they did not 
ship new TASM manuals for 'upgrades'.  There is an animated discussion
going on about this on Borland's CompuServe forum.  A number of people
are upset that they got an imcomplete package when they could have bought
the complete one for a few dollars more at their local discount software
retailer.

Borland says that there was little change to the TASM manuals and that
a file was provided listing the changes.

Just be aware of what each package contains so you can make your choice.
