- I just got back from COMDEX... I talked to Borland there.
- The NT compiler will be in beta soon, _definitely_ this year.
- The OS/2 compiler will be out GA "very early next year", which I took to mean
- January.
- So yes the OS/2 compiler will be out sooner, but it looks like the NT compiler
- will ship GA within a few weeks of NT's release.
- I would think it fair to say that they somewhat emaphasized the NT project
- over the OS/2 one, but the real delay was the creation of the 32-bit compiler
- in the first place.
