I didn't install the Personal Edition from the CD in CUJ, but I have a
strong suspicion that the updated compiler was not in it. Borland just
recently put a preview, which has the updated compiler, on their web site at
http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilderx.html . The
preview is installed on top of the Personal or Trial Edition.
