(RE 22465) Turbo Pascal for the Macintosh is very close to beta test stage. The author of Turbo Pascal is currently working on Turbo Pascal 4.0 for the IBM PC. I suspect the Amiga version will be the next one after TP4/IBM. Knowing how Borland works, we might see TP/Amiga in late '87. Or it could be much sooner or much later — their plans & priorities keep changing. Sigh. – Bela

Thanks for the info, Bela. I suspected that they were holding back for some reason. I called Borland about a week ago and spoke to Steve Howes who was EXTREMELY evasive, to the point of saying that C/A had stopped production on the Amiga! And we wonder how rumors get started! In any case, he finally told me that Borland would have a statement in about a month about T/P, so all we can do is wait. Let me know if you hear anything else. Ted

why don't we just admit it to ourselves that Phillipe Kahn has become just like the rest of them. Amiga Turbo Pascal is vaporware. And we've all been had. PLEASE REFUTE MY TERRRIBLE DISILLUSIONMENT WITH BORLAND.

Think anyone would be interested in a Turbo-Pascal-like compiler for the Amiga, but not from Borland? (I.e., possibly sooner.)
