|
|
Borland's German distributor doesn't carry the English Delphi manuals
(Developer's Guide) any more, only the German ones :-(
Does anyone know of a suitable source in Europe? I browsed through some
of the Borland Reseller online shops, but couldn't find any.
Thanks in advance for any hints,
Stephan

If you want to buy on line - shop.borland.co.uk |
Not on line, in almost every country in the EU.

Hi John,
no, sorry (I should have stated it more clearly), I'm looking to buy the
printed/bound version (used to be a Developer's Guide/Language Guide combo).

I didn't think printed versions were available for Delphi 8.

It's not a case of "any more". The English manuals have never been
available in print. The German office (my compliments to them!)
produced those manuals.
Hopefully, we'll provide on-demand printing of our manuals in the
future.

There are no English printed/bound books. The German office produced the
books independently. I have a set in my office. They are HUGE, quite
impressive. -m

wow, I had no idea...
So the *English* manuals were only available in Germany through the
German office/distributor? :-)
*Plus* they translated them all into German and produced German printed
versions too?

That would be great!
All the best,

The topic is Delphi 8. So he means "The Delphi 8 English manuals have never
been available in print."

O.k., got it. What I meant with "not available any more" was that they
were available for previous versions of Delphi.

That's probably just a timing/past tense language misunderstanding.
When I said "never" that indeed means for Delphi 8. "Not available any
more" would mean that they had been available at one time.
