Found in PC week 22 sep 87, page 148:

This really concerns me.

Does any one have any more information about this?
If they can't find a buyer, will they stop supporting Turbo Pascal alltogether?
If they do find a buyer will the language/interface change?

Does anyone have any info about the differences between IBM Turbo
Pascal, Mac Turbo Pascal, and Lightspeed pascal?  I have programs that
were ported from IBM turbo pascal to Mac Turbo pascal.  How easily can
I port them to Lightspeed and others from IBM Turbo to Lightspeed Pascal?

Many questions, but this could create a small problem.
