 I do not know if Turing will survive, but I have a suggestion about how it
might be done:

 C and C++ have UNIX locked up right now, and MS-DOS and probably OS/2, so
one must look to the future.

 If the Turing people produce a very good implementation for the Mach operating
system, and if they do a sales job on Steve Jobs and get him to include it
with each NeXT system, and if the NeXT system takes off in a big way in the
academic market, they MIGHT have a slim chance of being successful.
 I do not see any other strategy for them that has a realistic chance of
success.  Any other suggestions?
