   I noticed. I want that too. :) ... :(   
   It's a rare among rare books.   
      
   Though I think the only difference between the C and Pascal editions is the   
   binary file formats. i.e. the TPU and TPL files.   
      
   Or, does it contains more? Do you have the TOC of that book? Or any hint of   
   what the Pascal edition have which the C edition doesn't, other than TPU/TPL   
   file formats? Assuming that those file formats are made as open   
   architecture.   
      
   Since I'm in Asia, there's a high chance that no one has it. But if you're   
   in Europe or U.S., you might have a chance to borrow, rent, or buy a   
   second-hand book or the whole package from someone who own it. I did   
   searched the net and found several people which might have it. Or ask if   
   anyone has it in Embarcadero's Pascal forum. There are a lot more people   
   there than here.
