Hmmmmm...where are all those TP programmers going to go as their
career evolves?  Some, no doubt, to the unix world, and an environment
like Borland's on a unix box would be dynamite (read:  a LOT easier to
use) compared to the mish-mash of unix tools available.  I don't
expect it to happen, probably will happen after OS/2 (-: 3,4,5? :-)
Sure would be an improvement!
