Well, to those of you who flamed my first posting about Borland
not offering free upgrades and fixes for Turbo C v1.0, here is some
news: BORLAND CUSTOMER SERVICE CONFIRMS ERRORS IN THE BUG PATCH LISTINGS!

Wonderful.  Not only is the 1.0 stuff buggy, but even their patches have
bugs!  Also, without a connection to COMPUSERVE, you cannot test your
patch work.

I can expect the usual people to flame this too and say '1.0 sw is allowed
to be buggy', and of course the standard 'how long have you been in PC sw?'
and I will probably get a 'you have to wait for the patch patches'.

Have fun!
