A year ago at MacWorld, Borland was there. (This year I never made it out of Moscone so perhaps they were over at Brooks Hall). I asked a guy whether I should purchase Lightspeed C or wait for their offering, and he said 'If you need it in 6 months to a year, buy what you can get today'. Seemed to imply that about now we should see a Mac Borland C. On the other hand, Borland is doing alot of PC development and has alot of distractions with spreadsheets and such, so we may not find a high priority there. I agree about the Turbo environment - I've been using Lightspeed for small projects, and really don't care for it. Maybe if my projects were larger and more 'production oriented' I'd like it more, but it seems to have a high threshold of pain and annoyence to learn... mbk
