     Yes, it is a Borland product, but from what people in comp.sys.atari.st
from Europe were saying, it wasn't actually written by Borland. Basically,
a very small company did a _very_ good job of writing a clone of Turbo C,
and Borland agreed to market it in Europe, where the ST is better received.
