- I cannot expressed how really ticked off I am at BORLAND C++ 4.5 in
- print! I was also led to believe that I would be getting upgrades.
- When I got 4.51 and had serious problems with it (e.g. it will eat my
- hard drive when I open DOS TURBO DEBUGGER even without using it),
- I called to find when I would be getting an upgrade. I was told
- emphatically that I would only get UPDATES! and that there would be no
- free upgrades. Unfortunately, I had recycled the offer as soon as I
- ordered the product.
-
- I really liked BORLAND 3.0 and only upgraded because of the free
- upgrade offers and the fact that I was told that the problem I was
- having with values not being passed to my array from a library
- function was due to the fact that I had upgraded my motherboard and I
- needed the upgraded compiler for the faster board. I have become
- dependent on the debugger or I would just go back to a line command
- compiler. I will be looking for a different compiler and will not buy
- anything from BORLAND. DKat
