According to a recent PC Week article, Borland has decided to put Turbo
language products for OS/2 on the shelf for awhile and concentrate on
Windows products.  According to Borland, they ran some surveys and
concluded that the buyers of their language products didn't place a
high priority on OS/2 versions.

Some comments from me:

1) One major reason why I haven't scrambled to write any code for OS/2
(even non-production code which would only serve to teach me various
concepts) is because I wouldn't be able to use TP.

2) How did they conduct this survey?  Who are these programmers who
don't want a version for OS/2?  Am I in a minority?
