    Greetings fellow database programmers, I am trying to part with an
unused, unregistered (read: still in shrink-wrap) copy of Borland C++
3.1 (with the ton and a half of manuals) and a copy of Paradox 4.0 for
DOS (in identical condition).  The reason is that I ordered these from
Gateway 2000 who took nearly 3 months to ship them to me.  I needed them
a bit sooner than that (especially since the job was done before they
arrived).  Thus, I have these two programs propping up my bills for now
and I would like to get rid of the programs and bills in one fail swoop.
Throw me an offer I can't refuse.... (btw, hardware instead of cash will
be considered :))  Bills be damned, I'm a sucker for new toys.

Oh, and for the nay-sayers that might have noticed that Borland released
C++ 4.0 recently.  4.0 doesn't have a DOS integrated environment OR
turbovision.  So, if you don't do Windows, don't go after 4.0, get 3.1!

Cheers,


Fuzzy.

BTW, Gateway blamed Borland for the shipping delay and won't claim
responsibility.  Otherwise, they would be back by now...
