An hour or so of Web searching found the history of the "Borland"
Modula-2 product. A number of Web sites, and Wikipedia, describe the
series of people and corporations who owned it.

Bottom line - go talk to http://www.softvelocity.com/. SoftVelocity
bought and supports Clarion, which likely bought the Borland Z-80
Modula-2 product. See if they will "release" it as other modern
companies have released their old 8-bit products.
