- Doubt it. They haven't done anything that resembles this with BC++,
- I've owned TP since v5.0 (plus TPW 1.0 & 1.5), and
- TC2.0, TC++1.0, BC++3.0, and just recently BC++3.1. These products
- have each iteration has tended to be more bloated than the preceding
- one (BC++3.0 with Application Frameworks was 40.2 meg installed,
- BC++3.1 with Application Frameworks is 49.1 meg installed and it was
- just a 'minor' upgrade!).
