- I don't know about your situations, but at my university the site license
- with Borland allows anybody on campus to run any of the Borland compilers
- (either on networks, or on stand-alone micros). The manuals, however, cost
- extra. I don't teach programming using C, but if I did I think I would
- probably develop some in-house documentation to give students rather than
- insisting that they spring for the complete manual set. Obviously serious
- programmers will need it.
