-
- BC++ for OS/2 is in beta test now. You can buy the beta compiler now
- for about $800. I think this is the price, contact Borland for
- details. They're keeping the price high to discourage all but serious
- developers from buying into the beta program. With this, you'll get a
- free upgrade to the final compiler, when it's released.
-
- I have no information about pricing for the release of BC++, but it
- will be available. Hopefully soon. Based on the pricing for
- ObjectVision 2.0, the OS/2 version would be about $100 more than the
- Windows version with a cheap introductary price. But this is pure
- speculation.
-
- Borland can be contacted at 1-800-331-0877, ext. 1024

-
- There is an IBM OS/2 forum. I believe it's GO IBMOS2. I'm not a
- compuserve member, though, so I don't know what it's like there. Many
- companies have forums for their respective products. Contact the
- companies involved for details.
-
- I think it's still more expensive than sin. (And sin isn't that
- cheap, these days!)
