- Yes, I got an offer from Borland just the other day for this "beta"
- program. They announced that they had reduced the price substantially
- from the previous beta. They hadn't reduced it much, since now you
- don't get a copy of the release compiler, just a discount coupon.
- What an incentive...
-
- I would love it if Borland would pay to Beta test some of my
- software. The unmitigated gall. I'll just bet Borland pays
- Microsoft for the opportunity of beta testing Windows NT!
-
- Borland C++ beta? Just say no.
