- When I asked Borland while upgrading to BP7, the response was they didn't know.
- It would depend on how much interest there was in such a product. There were
- also rumors around the same time that a tp (or BP) for os/2 MIGHT be in
- the future (4q93???) but it was all unofficial. :(
-
- The only way I know of how to get borland to make this is for everyone who
- wants it to call and flat out tell them you want a pascal compiler for os/2.
- I already have, and I think others have as well..
