Is there anyone using Borland's Turbo Modula 2 (as marketed by Echelon)? I have run across a discrepency between two reviews of it. In Micro-Cornucopia, it appeared to be capable of linking just the required code from a library, but in a review in the latest Profiles, the author stated that it loaded in the entire module! Which is it? Thanks, Jeff Wieland abp@j.cc.purdue.edu

Does this actually exist? Why is a Borland product marketed by somebody
else?
And where can one buy a copy?archer@elysium.SGI.COM (Archer Sully) (09/16/87)

The reason why it is being marketed (and supported) by Echelon is that Borland decided that they were doing no more products for 8-bit systems.

Here in japan, it is advertized in a magazine. -Makoto HASEGAWA CS-NET: a80028%tansei.cc.u-tokyo.junet%japan@RELAY.CS.NET

After reading the first issue of TURBO TECHNIX The Borland Language Journal, it's no wonder they didn't bother marketing Turbo Modula 2 for PC/MSDOS machines. They've called it Turbo Pascal :-1a yesSUN
