I wouldn't say they have no plans of ever supporting it.  At a recent Paradox
conference PK hinted at some of there directions in the future.  Basically,
they forsee the Windows market as more critical than the OS/2 market and the
OS/2 market as being before the Unix environment.  I think Borland will try to 
develope stuff for what they think is the short term operating system market.
Now if enough people will call Borland asking for OS/2 TC++ maybe their 
impressions will change.  By the way they do have a OS/2 version of Paradox
but they are behind in porting the new 3.0 version changes to it.
