 Well, guys an' gals today it got released here in the UK, and BORLAND
 threw a big bash to present it. It looks really good, especially the
 IDE and the Turbo Vision environment. Speed contrary to other reports
 seems pretty good on a Toshiba laptop (386 presumably). The biggest
 surprise, however, was a sneak preview of !!!!YOU GUESSED IT!!! TP for
 windows. It is a full Windows 3 app and generates nice windows code.
 Projected released date is first half of '91 (i.e. June or
 thereabouts). The two interesting points are first that it seems not to
 need the SDK (Poor usoft losing $500 per user) and that the code from
 Turbo Vision apps might be portable to Windows. I am not sure about
 either but that was hinted in the demo.
 The bad news is that more manuals and more disk space is needed again.
 About 3.5 Mb for the compiler alone (never mind TDEBUG etc) and
 something like six manuals (loose leaf thank God). I ordered my copy on
 the spot.

 disclaimer : I have nothing to do with Borland (sometimes I wish I did)
 but am only a satisfied (sometimes) customer.
