Speaking of things that sound very un-Borlandish.. has anyone else read their latest (BC++) "no nonsense licence agreement".. lots of silly stuff in there nowadays.. For example, If I distribute a program compiled with BC++, which contains the binary form of one or more library routines, or even just the startup code (contained in ALL compiled programs unless one goes to the bother of rewriting it from scratch), then I am "required" to visibly copyright my program !!!
