Well I tend to agree with above statement.  Turbo Pascal is like a mix
of Modula-2 and Pascal.  They took some of the Modula-2 procedures and
mixed them freely with Pascal.  (INC and DEC come to mind first)

However,  it would have been nice if Borland had finished it
themselves,  I never really liked TopSpeed's implementation.  At first
I found the compiler/editor really convienent.  Eventually I went back
to Turbo Pascal (Around 6.0) because there really were no good
libraries readily available... unless you count buying a product
blindly via a magazine ad.
