- Though I'm not from Borland, I can tell you there's not much hope. In front of
- me I have a Borland add for TP 7.0 which claims it to be the best you'll ever
- get for DOS and Windows development. There's no word about OS/2. And from a
- preview in a German magazine I know it even can't generate 32bit DOS or Windows
- code. Data elements are still limited to 64K (that's sixtyfour kilobytes <g>).
- Let's face it: Pascal is dead :-(
