They still offer it, but it's a 30-day trial, and it appears that once 
you get the trial activation number, it's good for any of the products, 
only I (using a screen reader) couldn't select which product I wanted, 
so it downloaded and installed their c++ suite of tools instead of the 
delphi ones, so I'm stuck with a delphi free computer (still).  Millions 
of folks may use the thing, but I can tell you none of those millions 
use a screen reader, because I can't get the thing to do much, though it 
does seem usable on the surface, as I dig into the various 
functionality, I find it's not quite as accessible as it first appears 
<sigh> I think I'll stick to my text editors, and command-line tools.

(and not use their c++ products at all.  After the 30 day trial, it's 
still almost 300 bucks for their intro version, which admittedly is way 
better than 1400 they want for the pro version, and if I were actually 
making money at this, it would be a worthwhile investment, but since 
it's a personal thing, it's not really worth it, when there's other 
alternatives that are more accessible for me.
