 JDBP>  Over here, Borland C++ 2.0 is L149 outright, and L99 for the upgrade

 JDBP>  from BC++OS2 1.5.



 GW> Not sure where you got your pricing from. Current Grey Matter outright

 GW> price is L245 (upgrade is L99 from Borland, I've got the offer).

 

 JDBP>  For comparison, the Watcom C++ 10.0a *upgrade* from 9.5 is around L130.



 GW> and the Grey Matter outright price for Watcom is L164 (CDROM only - no

 GW> hardcopy documentation), why bother with the upgrade?.



 GW> From the Grey Matter advert a UK price sequence is:



 GW> IBM C SET Firststep L79

 GW> (Borland upgrade    L99 - direct mail offer from Borland)

 GW> Watcom (CDROM only) L164

 GW> Borland C++ V2.0    L245

 GW> CSET++              L355

 GW> High C/C++          L445
