VBRANDT@DBNUAMA1.BITNET (01/15/90)
Hello all,
I promised to keep everyone up to date on Turbo C for the ST, and here's some
news on this topic.
I called Borland Germany in Munich last friday, and spoke to one of the ST
programmers. He said if all goes the way it's planned, Turbo C/ST v2.0 and
the source level debugger TD v1.0 will be released in March (1990 :-).
That date does *not* apply to the English documentation. They still haven't
found a producer/publisher/whatever for that. Sorry, no good news there yet.
There are all sorts of new goodies, such as a complete PC-compatible BGI
(= Borland Graphics Interface) implementation. And TD is a sight to see ...
Incidentally, the person I talked to said that Borland Germany got a number
of complaints about the fact that TC/ST is not available in the US. He
suggested that everyone who would buy TC if there was an official US version
should write to Borland USA and demand an English TC version. It's entirely
up to Borland USA to make such a version available, Borland Germany is more
than willing.
Please remember that all of the above is not official in any way, it's just a
summary of a telephone call (and it might have been a bad line :-).
