- It was nice of someone in a recent posting to recommend my wife's
- company, Sage Microsystems East, as a source for Turbo Pascal for CP/M.
- Unfortunately, that product is no longer available. After Borland declined
- to renew Alpha Software's license, Bill Roch (Elliam Associates) and I tried
- to convince them to release the software in some form (such as licenses to
- other distributors), but they refused. This is a real shame, because Turbo
- Pascal is still an excellent product. If Borland finds it too much trouble
- to count the small sums of money a license could bring in (for no work on
- their part at all), the least they could do is release the product to the
- public domain.
