Borland Easter Eggs

Why Easter Eggs? The term was adopted because of the way these undocumented parts of a software product are so well hidden. You have to hunt for quite some while in order to find them. An association was made between hunting for undocumented parts of a software product and the children's game of hunting for hidden Easter Eggs at Easter parties.

Many Borland products have undocumented features which have no real use. In most cases, they are credit lists for the developers of the product, but sometimes they are not.

This list of Easter Egg links will be expanded as time goes by.
