I have a copy of Turbo Modula-2 and the manual is (c) 1987 by Borland International Inc. However, the front of the manual states 'Heimsoeth & Borland', so Heimsoeth seems to have acted as a 'republisher' for the German market. Having said that, the manual and software are both in English, so there was probably only one version produced for all markets. Turbo Modula-2 seems to have acquired almost legendary status, but IMHO, it isn't actually the best CP/M compiler of this language. FTL Modula-2 (no longer officially available for CP/M, but HiSoft still have a few copies lying around, so ask them nicely) is a superior product, producing smaller code and allowing much better integration of assembly language modules.
