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.

Best wishes,

Ian
