  If you are a college student (or know one) the educational prices are
  $50 for TC++ and $99 for BC++.

  It was cheaper for me to buy BC++ at the educational price than to upgrade
  TC++.  So I now have a perfectly good and complete TC++ package that is 
  collecting dust.  I'll sell it to anyone for $30.  You can upgrade it to
  BC++ for less money than it costs to buy BC++.  Does anyone know if Borland
  allows you to transfer your registration?
