Very true. However, Borland is working with IBM to develop an OS/2
32-bit compiler for version 2.0
Right now, OS/2 can be bought for less than DOS+Windows (if you can find
it). A Borland 32bit compiler would be a big incentive for me to chose
OS/2 over UNIX.
Of course, I'd like to see 32-bit Borland compilers for BOTH operating
systems. :-)
