   I got a free replacement CD from Inprise for BP7 - the ver 7.01   
   "silent maintenance upgrade" - in mid-1998, but as of maybe   
   mid-1999 there were no more available.  Even for quite some time   
   before that date it wasn't a marketed product.  That CD was   
   available as a CD only - no documentation.  My best guess is that   
   BP7 died as a product before 1995.
