I hate to contradict one of our own, but in the interests of accuracy, as
I mentioned in a (slightly) earlier posting, this is a formally released and
supported third-party product via Heimsoft in Germany. The product I have seen
has screens etc in English but manuals in German. I have no idea of the
legalities of who can distribute what, where, under the name of Turbo-C, but
I do know Sig Hartmann was in direct contact with Borland.
Maybe a little lobbying of Borland might push them to see the potential
market here.
