- I didn't get my copies, but I phoned them to complain and they sent me
- a copy of 4.51. When I called them about 4.52 I forgot to mention
- that I had paid for the BCPP with Database tools so I got the wrong
- disk. I intend writing to them when v5 is released complaining about
- their behaviour and saying that I will use 4.5 to buy a competitive
- upgrade to MSVC in the hope that they will send me 5.0 for free.
-
- The truth being that I will swap to MSVC anyway, Borland have lost it.
- The result being they have lost my custom and if enough people think
- the way I do they will lose their source of continued existence.
