- Do not take this as gospel, but at the borland/ibm OS/2 party
- of the Programmers Development party this fall in Boston, they were
- giving away copies of several of their products, and Brief was one of
- them. I was busy salivating over someone's OS/2 prize but I believe
- that when the Borland representative was introducing the prizes he
- said this blurb about brief, the old "This is a fine product we've
- just picked up and we hope to continue in the tradition" etc, etc.
- This was a month ago and my memory is poor but I got the impression
- that they were going to continue to support it as a front-line product
- and that they expected it would do well. Sort of like parents showing
- off their new baby 8).
-
- Again, don't take it as gospel. Just a tidbit.
