I have read/heard various rumors that Borland has indefinitely shelved
its plans for porting Turbo Pascal to the Amiga.  But if you're
interested in learning, rather than system programming, why not learn
Modula-2 instead?  The Pascal language is 18 years old; Modula-2 can
do everything Pascal can do, plus the all-important newer module
concepts.  And TDI Software makes a fairly good Modula-2 compiler for
the Amiga.

My needs aren't as easy to satisfy, however; I am still hoping someone
will come out with a good *Lisp* environment for the Amiga!  So far,
no luck....
