- Sorry, folks, but BC++ for OS/2 has not been released. I don't know
- where that announcement came from. It certainly is written in an
- official style, and it is no secret that BC++ for OS/2 is in beta test
- and that we have an Early Experience Program to make beta copies
- available for a fee to some people who did not make it into the free
- beta program before it filled up, but whether or not the text of that
- posting was originally written by anyone at Borland, it is not a
- Borland product release announcement. I will not vouch for the
- accuracy of any detail in that message, and I am not prepared to
- answer questions about them.
-
- A copy of the announcement has been sent to the people who do make
- official statments at Borland, and any response should come from them.
- Because this posting has been quoted so widely so quickly, I just
- wanted to start the counter-rumor going as soon as I saw it.
-
- Borland C++ for OS/2 has not yet been released!
-
- Stay tuned for further details, and please don't e-mail me with
- requests for additional information that I am not free to disclose.
