Maybe because there isn't a "real" Turbo C for the ST?

That takes some explaining.

When Borland ported Turbo Pascal to the Mac, they did a real port,
hired 680x0 experts, etc.  This "Turbo C for the ST" is a third-party
that made a C compiler for the ST and is having it marketed by Borland
in certain countries.  I'm sure this third-party has put a lot of
effort into making it compatible with the MS-DOS "real" Turbo C.

Now, the eighth-hand information that I've gotten (NOTE:  DISCLAIMER:
THIS ISN'T FIRST HAND INFORMATION) is that this third-party ST product
is second rate... or at least it doesn't meet "American standards".

If this is true, I'd understand why Borland wouldn't want to get
embarrassed by shipping it here.  (I am, obviously, writing this from
the states).  Then again, maybe they just don't have the (VERY BIG)
staff required to properly support a product.  Then again, maybe
they're shooting for a different image than the ST can provide.
Then again, maybe I should stop conjecturing and post this.
