It's still just vapourware, but Borland has promised a version of Turbo Pascal
for Windows programming in the first half of this year, and has scheduled
a press conference about it for sometime this month.  Even less substantial:
I noticed that one of the mail-order houses is advertising "ObjectVision" for
Turbo Pascal in the current Byte; list price is $400, their price is $CALL.
