This statement is clear. Borland turns it's back to open source. They
release some code at a time after the commercial release. And they
won't compile it for us. They just do the minimum to support there
commitment of ib open source. Nothing more. They want us to buy the
product just like the good old days. They don't believe in open source
or another Paradox or Quatro Pro. They just wanna go back to there
roots. Development tools. It's the same wave borland is surfing for a
long time. Say yes, say no, go left, go right, Do "A" not "B", another
CEO, merge with Corel and not, the name is Borland, Inprise, Borland
and Inprise, Borland again. Must i plan my future on such a company?
I have more trust in real open source...

Borland turbo pascal 3: 
Minimum system configuration: 128K RAM minimum. Includes 8087 & BCD
features for 16-bit MS-DOS 2.0 or later and CP/M-86 1.1 or later.
CP/M-80 version 2.2 or later 48K RAM minimum (8087 and BCD features
not available). 8087 version requires 8087 or 80287 co-processor.

How did they do that? 128KB RAM ????? I have 393216KB these days! And
still Windows is swapping...
