What I was told was that Borland believes the wave of the future is C.
Therefore, it was not going to invest any more time and energy into
Modula-2 when it has Pascal.  They brought the one they were working
on up to marketability, but are selling it through a 3rd party, for
CP/M-80 systems only, and will not be releasing a 68K or x86 version.
Of course, that's only what I've heard....
