True - I forgot about that one. Saying "it was not very widespread"
is an understatement though -- quite often, Borland even denied
having such a product when people contacted them and wanted to buy
it. Presumably, Turbo Modula 2 got ready only a short time before
Borland decided to abandom the CP/M-80 market.
