- Hi borland Bug Administrator!
-
- Thanks for your reply!
-
- I attempted to pass this "Bug" report to Borland Support in Australia. They requested that I enter into a support aggrement with the=
- m and pay them for letting them know about the defects (bugs)in their software they supply agains payment to their customers. I even=
- paid once $50 for a support aggrement but as I never used it it must have been erased from the Sydney database. ID Number is ZZZ014=
- 574 Contract Number 1622.
-
- It appears that Borland now wants to make its customers pay for letting them know about the defects and inconsistencies in the softw=
- are they sell.
-
- Please pass this message on to your current CEO or President.
