Followup from the original poster : 

My question was based entirely on an ad I saw in the July/August issue
of Amiga World.  On page 93 NorthEastern Software is advertising 
"Turbo Pascal   $42".  As everything else on the page is for the Amiga, 
it would seem that this is too.  The question : does NorthEastern actually
have this thing, or is this Yet Another Vapor Ware Product?

talking about future expert systems that will be doing ten million
inferences a second.  What will it be like to put a hundred years thought
in every decision?  Knowledge is power."  - Edward A. Feigenbaum
