Kyle Ha! We're less dead than you!!! Kylix support is still active!!

InterBase recently extended support for an older version. Those are initial plans and can change due to market pressures. Kyle Heironimus wrote: Quote: Here's more fuel for the fire.

However, take that information with a grain of salt. In general, Borland technical support (at least the C++ team) tries not to turn away customers even if they are using an officially unsupported product version. Although products like C++Builder 4, C++Builder 5, and even some versions of Borland C++ and Turbo C++ have not been officially supported for some time, technical support still does their best to help customers who call in regarding them. I would expect the same to hold true for C++Builder 6. -- YH -- -- Please confine your posts to the newsgroups and DO NOT reply to this e-mail account unless asked.

Actually you are looking at an extension! When CBX was launched BCB6 went onto passive support, and was due to end-of-life in November. So we are already looking at a 10 bonus months!

Ok but forgetting, active and passive for a moment, where is the *actual* support? :) Russell Back to top Dave Jewell Guest Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 10:12 am    Post subject: Re: Passive support, soon to be de-support "Russell Hind" <no-one (AT) no-where (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Ok but forgetting, active and passive for a moment, where is the *actual* support? Some people are never satisfied. Next you'll be saying that you'd like an *actual* open letter. I even heard one guy the other day say that he'd like to see some actual *product*.

Well, like almost everybody else, Support has not been informed of what's happening in C++. I'm told the current information is incorrect and that the PM will have it corrected. But I don't know what they'll correct it to and, most importantly, when.... At the rate things go here, I'd say no sooner than the promised letter Regards, Bruneau. Back to top Brion L.
