That's what I thought until Steve Ciarcia packaged CP/M-80 Turbo Modula-2
with his new graphics board.

In any case, why wait on Borland? I find the TDI developer's package quite
usable. It certainly is not a suitable introductory system, but it's highly
usable for serious work. Maybe one of the other Modula-2 vendors will put
out a good introductory system.

Borland's big push right now seems to be Turbo Basic. Yawn.
