A while ago I posted an article about Turbo Pascal, asking if anyone
knew anything about 2.0.  Someone responded via e-mail and told me that
his friend, an ex-Borland employee with many friends (i.e. contacts)
there, told him that Borland was giving up on their Mac line.

Since then, I have been calling Borland to find out if this is true.
So far, everyone I've talked to is doing a "Sgt. Schultz"--they know
nothing about dropping the Mac line, but they also know nothing about
version 2.0 (which is well overdue).

Since I've seen references to Turbo Pascal periodically on Net, I 
thought I'd share this with everyone.  I am planning to switch to
LSP, and I would recommend that new buyers take that route instead
of Turbo, unless you know something that nobody I talked to at
Borland knows...

Anyone wanna buy Turbo Pascal for the Mac version 1.1?
