I also was a subscriber & quit for similar reasons. Now I glance at
it occasionally, and I noticed the following: a while ago (1/2 year ?)
they reviewed Turbo Pascal - I have it, so I read the review with some
interest. They even gave it 4.5 stars out of 5, not bad. Since then I've
been looking at the "capsule" reaviews in the back ("minifinders" they
call it ?) & Turbo hasn't shown up to this day! A question: does anyone
know what the story is? Is MacUser out to get Borland? Is it plain
incompetence? Has Borland requested this for some bizarre reason? I'm
puzzled.                                 Eric (correct address below)
