On the contrary, the Borland groups are MUCH more widely used and
consequently have a much greater wealth of information than this newsgroup.
If you don't believe me then search google groups for anything delphi
related. Also, you don't need to login to access or contribute to Borland's
groups. Just create an account in your favorite newsreader for
newsgroups.borland.com (just as you do to access any news group) or you can
use a web browser interface if you prefer -
http://support.borland.com/newsgroups/delphi.asp .
