To clear things up a bit, Borland has announced nothing more than
their intention to support Windows, with no specific products or
dates. Borland has a "no vaporware" policy that usually means
announcing a product on the day it ships. The Sept 24 article in PC
Week mentioned two products. One of them, Turbo C++ 1.01, it said is
already shipping. It isn't. You can make up your own mind about the
accuracy of the less verifiable statements in the article about
Borland's internal activity on Windows products. PC Leak, er, Weak,
um, I mean WEEK, tends to publish stuff like that. Their track record
on guessing Borland's actions hasn't been all that good. If they don't
include a quote from a Borland spokesperson I would tend to take what
they say with a big grain of salt.
