Does anyone know if a CP/M-86 version of Turbo Modula (no particular
version) ever written.

Some of the other things Borland wrote according to my Borland Software
guide in the back of the TP3 manual which worked on CP/M-80 v2.2 or later
(64kb minimum):
Turbo Pascal Turbo Tutor,
Turbo Pascal DataBase Toolbox.

But your right, there is a lot of stuff in this software catalog which ain't
for CP/M-80 or CP/M-86 for that matter!

Kind Regards,
Ross.
